Recycle Bin Problem

K

Ken

Hi

After having played around a bit with the security permissions (three
different logons) on one of my partitions, suddenly the recycle bin doesn't
work anymore. Deleted files are permanently deleted without being moved to
the Bin first, and sometimes I get an error-message saying the Recycle Bin
is corrupted.

The Recycle Bin for the other partitions work perfectly.

Any Ideas on what I've done wrong - I would believe it's something to do
with removing and setting new security permissions, but I just can't figure
out how to solve the problem.

Your ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try this:
Right click the Recycle Bin | Properties | Global tab |
Make sure:
Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately
when deleted. is UNCHECKED. |

items you delete are moved to the Recycle Bin. Items moved to the Recycle Bin are not
removed from your hard disk until you empty the Recycle Bin.]
Use one setting for all drives is CHECKED |
Display delete confirmation dialog is CHECKED |
[Specifies whether a confirmation message is displayed when you delete files to prevent
you from deleting files in error. If the Do not move files to the Recycle Bin check box is
selected, you cannot change this setting.]
Apply | OK
