Hey guys! I'm new to Vista as I just bought a new laptop, and I have a question...

I use wordpad quite a bit for quick notes and various things...when I'm done using a file I want to delete it...HOWEVER, there is no option to delete the file anywhere in the file menu, or ANYWHERE for that matter...I tried notepad and got the same...I figured it was something in Vista as XP didn't do this...sooooo, how can you delete a file that you are viewing, without having to save it first and then go find it with explorer and deleting it there???

Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

Hey Mike, thanks for the response! But I'm confused...why do I have to open up a new window and copy and paste anything? I don't want the information anymore...

Let me explain another way...let's say I have a cut and past copy of an online receipt that I want to keep till the transaction is over. I past it into wordpad and name it "receipt1".

10 days later I receive my goods and all is well, so I open up the "receipt1" document to make sure I don't need anything out of it...now i want to delete the file. I used to go to FILE>DELETE...but now it's gone...now the only way I can find to delete the file I'm viewing is to close it, then go find "windows explorer" then go find where it stored it and delete it there...that's frustrating. Expecially since I don't store everything in "my documents"...some of my business docs get stored in a partition to keep it safe. Does that description change anything???

Have you tried closing the documents first? (No Offence)

No bother. It is pretty new, and most of the idea is to make it more user friendly, but sometimes the change is too much. :D

BrianJ - You can add Windows Mail to your list. I received an E-Mail and wanted to forward it to someone else - couldn't delete any part of it and couldn't forward it either.
