If anyone is interested, attached here is a REG file that will add more info fields in the "Delete file" dialog.
Tested and confirmed working on Win7 wSP1 and Win10 (various builds).

Credit goes to MajorGeeks.com, which first published the REG file.
However, I noticed they were a little sloppy, and did not account for certain fields that should appear when deleting certain file types (like EXEcutables, movie files, image files).
I have corrected the REG file, and now no information is missing compared to the default "Delete file" dialog.

Basically, we're adding a reg key value called "FileOperationPrompt". It's not there by default, so if you wanna go back to Windows' default after applying this change, you can simply delete this value (or rename it to something like "FileOperationPrompt_").

Cheers  :great: :thumbsup:
