recycle bin corrupt

[Guest]

I received the message that the recycle bin on c:\ is corrupt. I searched
the knowledge base and the only thing that came up was for sp1. I have
installed all the updates to date, but the recycle bin is corrupt - it
corrupted AFTER all the updates were installed. I need a fix. Thanks.

Select R and scroll to Recycle Bin Repair or
Replace.

Tried that - the reg. file. Rebooted, did not work.

Anything else?

Thanks for your help. I reformatted the HD, reloaded xp, and it works fine
now.

Best way to deal with a corrupted 'bin is to delete it! It will be
recreated on the next boot.

Melissa, that would certainly correct the problem
