Recycler folder...

[Doug]

Hi,

I just added an additional HD to my computer for storage purposes.
Using Windows XP Home. Anyway, now I see I have a Recycler Folder in both
HD's which I never say before. Was there always a Recycler folder in my C:
drive (using NTFS here) and I just never noticed it before? I mean when I
looked in Windows Explorer at my new drive and saw Recycler is was plain as
day since it was the only folder there. Was I just missing it in the C:
drive all along? Or am I just losing it here?

Thanks,
~ Doug

Do you have Norton installed?

Yes - it is the folder for files put into the Recycle Bin on an NTFS
drive. It is a hidden/protected item which is why you may not have
noticed it. It contains a sub-folder for each user account so as to
keep the files that different users delete apart from each other
