Odd Recycle Bin Behavior

[Luke]

This is a new one to me. I have a single hard drive, two
partitions (both Win2k formatted NTFS). Primary (C is
about 30 GB, logical (D is about 80 GB. The recycle bin
works fine on the C: drive (asks for confirmation to send
file to recycle bin, file actually goes to recycle bin).
For D: drive, it asks for confirmation to send to recycle
bin, but the file is actually deleted. I tried "attrib -
s -h D:\recycler", deleting the folder, and then
restarting but that didn't fix it. In fact, now on D: the
Recycler folder shows up as a regular folder. In Recycle
Bin Properties, I have "Display confirmation" enabled, "Do
not move to recycle bin" disabled, "use one setting for
all drives" enabled, and the slider at 10%. I've looked
at all the articles in the Knowledge Base, but nothing
seems to help. Any ideas short of reinstalling?

After trying every trick I could find or come up with, I
think I might have fixed it. The recycler was working
fine on my C: partition, so I copied the recycler folder
from that one over the one on the D: partition (it
overwrites INFO2 and desktop.ini), rebooted, and so far
everything seems to be working. I was worried that this
might use double the space for the C: partition, but
browsing through the recycler folders on the command line
everything seems to be in order. Very odd problem,
hopefully fixed now.
