How to enable Delete Confirmation Dialog in Windows 8?

By default, the Windows 8 doesn’t ask you for the confirmation when deleting a file or a folder.

So, when you press a delete key on selecting a file or a folder, the file/folder is deleted straight away and moved to the Recycle bin.

If you want to enable the “Delete Confirmation” Dialog, you can do that by following the instructions below.
