Corrupt Recycle Bin?

P

Pam

I have a user that has Windows XP Pro installed. A few
weeks ago she noticed that although the icon for the
Recycle Bin showed it full, when she opened the Recycle
Bin it was empty. However, when she deletes a file, it
doesn't show up in the Recycle Bin.

I can log in as the local Administrator, or as myself, and
I have no problems with the Recycle Bin.

I tried creating a new profile for her, but the same thing
happens to her new profile.

I tried "Kelly's" fix:
Go to Start/Run and type in CMD:

Type CD \RECYCLED, and then press ENTER.
Type ATTRIB -r -s -h info2, and then press ENTER.
Type DEL INFO2, and then press ENTER.

But there is no RECYCLED.

Does anyone have any idea on what is causing this or how
to fix it - other than reloading the PC?

Thank you,
Pam

Nortons protected recycle bin silly app can cause this and also tons
more problems.
