Tried it, interesting, some options I'd never seen before, but have the
same behaviour. An attempt to "Empty the recycle" bin really fouls up the
system. Pretty quickly even the icon freezes, then everything else stops
responding, and eventually I have to power the box off. Below is the
output from the event viewer.
Any other thoughts would be welcome.

Run Error Checking. Reboot. Try to empty the Recycle Bin again.
Error Checking (chkdsk.exe).
1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the drive you want to
check, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, click Check Now.
3. Select both of these:
o Automatically fix file system errors
o Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors
You have to reboot for Error-checking to run.
For a look at the chkdisk log.

Recycle Bin - Deleting Problems

Hope this helps. Let us know.

In Jack Gostl <

I'm pretty sure I have a corrupted recycle bin. All attempts to "Empty"
the folder hang and eventually take the system with it. Various other
problems, but as I look at it, they all come back to file deletions.
For
now, I've gone to the recycle properties and shut down the recycle bin,
but I'm looking for a more permanent solution.
At the command line, I've gone to "\recycler" and typed "attrib *", but
there don't seem to be any files there. But when I go to windows
explorer,
and open the bin, I see whole bunches of files. When I try to delete
files
one at a time, some delete nicely, others just hang everything.
I've googled around a bit for this problem, but I haven't come up with
an answer yet.
Running XP Pro SP2.
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
Thanks - Jack
