Recycle Bin Location on XP & Error

M

Mark W

When I open Recycle bin it shows no deleted files even
though I know there is 10 in there. When I open Nortons
Protected recycle bin (System Works) I get an error that
says "Unexpected Values found in recycle bin data file".
Now what?

Thanks

The Recycle Bin consists of the aggregation of the contents of the
\Recycled folder on each partition on your hard drive(s) - e.g.
C:\Recycled, D:\Recycled, etc.

If you use Windows Explorer you should be able to see the contents of
the \Recycled folder(s) on your hard drive(s).

Good luck

p.s. Norton Protected Recycle Bin is one of the crappiest components
of a totally crappy piece of software. I suggest you dispense with at
least that component of your Norton System Works.
