Recycle Bin - Add a drive to...

G

Guest

Recently had a rebuild from Windows 2000 to XP and the hard drive has been
partitioned to C: and E: (before it was C: and D:).
Anyway, I have noticed that the Recycle Bin only has a tab for the C: and
anything deleted from the E: does not appear in the RB.

How can I add the E: to the RB?

Many thanks in advance.

Right click on the Recycle Bin on your Desktop and select Properties.
Create the requirements you want.

Thanks for the rapid response.

Unfortuantely, I have already looked into this but there is no option in RB
Properties to add a new drive. I have two tabs, Global and System (C:), that
is all.

Thanks

Are the partitions properly recognised in Disk Management? Start,
Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk
Management.

What Tool / Utility was used to create the Partitions?

Are you using any Norton products?

In Windows Explorer is there a Recycler folder for your E partitions?

Some notes from Kelly's web site. You will need to scroll down some way
to find those relating to the Recycle Bin.

The drive is seen in the Disk Management area.
The build was a complete reformat and rebuild by our IT department. The
worrying thing is that other machines here have been through the same process
have the E: tab on the RB proporties and work fine. [Why is it always my
machine that has problems!? ;-)]
I don't know what Tool/Utility was used to create the partitions.
We don't use Norton here, it is McAfee.
Where would I find the Recycler folder on either the C: or E:. A quick
search has found nothing on both drives.
I have passed on the URL to the IT chappies looking into this problem.
Thanks

Are they two drives or one drive divided into two partitions. You can
see which in Disk Management. If two drives they be labelled Disk 0 and
Disk 1 If a single drive divided into two it will be Disk 0 with one
under Status showing as Healthy (System) and the other as Healthy.

Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings and
verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is checked
and "Hide protected operating system files " is unchecked. You may need
to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that
the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked.
Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is selected and then
select View, Choose Details and check before Name, Type, Total Size, and
Free Space.

Now see if you see the Recyler folder. They are sub-folders of the
partition e.g. c:\Recycler.

It is one hard drive partitioned, and shows as you describe below, ie System
healthy and healthy.

The C: Recycler is there and can see two folders with the long names. The
E:Recycler is present but Access is denied. I do have admin rights to my
machine.

I think you may need to "Take Ownership".
