Hi,

I have a tmp file in my recycle bin that i cannot delete permanently.
Everytime I start up windows it reappears. I can delete it as such, however,
when I next start up windows it returns.

can anyone help?

I have av software and anti-spyware software but it cant find anything wrong
with the recycle bin

Look forward to replies

Thanks for the tip.....how do I boot into safemode?

Does it affect any of the programs that start up when you boot?

What file is this? .doc, .avi., .jpg etc… The program is not running is it?

Try the following in normal & safe mode.

Try bypassing the recycle bin:
Press & hold down the SHIFT key & press the DEL key.

Try renaming the file to a different extension (ie: .doc to .jpg)

If still don’t work- google the downloadable program: MoveOnBoot.

Hello Euro

Try this:

Try this:

[1] Open a Command window and shut down any other running programs.
Ctrl-Alt-Del to open the Task Manager.

[2] In Task Manager look on the Processes tab and select Explorer.exe,
Click on the End Process button. (Your desktop and taskbar will
disappear and you'll be left with just Task Manager and the Command
window. Don't panic! :-) Leave Task Manager open and return to the
Command window.

[3] Now at the prompt type:
rd /s /q C:\Recycler <enter>
type: exit <enter> to close the Command window.

[4] Go back to Task Manager and on the Applications tab click the button
for New Task. In the box that pops up type: Explorer <OK>. Your desktop
should return to normal. Close Task Manager and reboot.

[5] When you return to Windows don't worry if the bin icon still shows
full. Put a test file in the bin and then right-click to empty it.
Hopefully now it should all be working.

Good luck! Do please let us know how you get on.

Hey nightowl

Thanks for that...it has done the trick (fingers crossed it will stay that
way!)

For your information, I tried it without closing down explorer.exe and just
entered the details in the command prompt as instructed (too worried a numpty
like me might mess up!)
