Help needed on Windows XP Recycle Bin

D

On my desktop computer when I click "Explore" on the recycle bin it shows
what items are in the recycle bin.

On my laptop however when I click on "Explore" it does not show what is in
the recycle bin. Even if I double click on the recycle bin the contents do
not show.

How can I fix my laptop recycle bin so I can know what is in it?

I am afraid to delete anything in it before making sure what is in it.

Thank you

Maybe there is nothing in the recycle bin?

Perhaps you have it set to by-pass the bin when deleting files?

Right-click>Properties.......Uncheck "Do not move files to the recycle bin.
Remove files immediately when deleted"
