Hello Terry,
this was discussed some time ago, and it's a very easy change that has 
to be made to the template which lists the files in the admin interface.

this should give you the right info to acomplish it (check the exact 
html behind it, I guess migration changed it a bit).

From:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2715256&group_id=242018&atid=1117807

----------------------------
In the file templates/default/modules/admin/files.tpl line 40:
old: {$f.id}
new: <a href="../{$script}?action=d&amp;id={$f.id}">{$f.id}</a>
----------------------------

Hope it helps,
Alessandro
