I often will save a file and see earlier versions in the common dialog that I would like to delete first. The problem is that when I click on the older file to delete it, it changes the name of the newer file I an trying to save to the name of the file I am deleting. Is there a way to delete the file without changing the name in the File name field?
I have five out of the six questions on this board since May. I hope it isn't rude to dominate the board like this, I get pretty good answers here.
Merry Christmas Everyone

I am saving different versions of a file
If I were saving the newest installer for xplorer2 for example, I like to keep the the version that came before it, but delete the version that came 2 before. I keep the current and last versions of files. Its not a big deal, I'm just surprise there isn't a keyboard trick that keeps the name from changing in File Name. Sometimes I delete the file anyway, then cancel the download and start over.
I just thought of a workaround. I'll copy the name of the file I am saving to the clipboard, delete the other file, then paste the name back in. I just thought there should be a better way.
