Guest

Hi, Problem I have is my Recycle Bin has dissappeared completely. Not in
Explorer or My computer, the desktop only has the icon left with no text
under it and when u right click it just lets you " cut,paste,create shortcut
or delete. I had Norton Internet security installed and it also attached
itself to my recycle bin for protected files. I no longer use Norton's now
and after uninstallation the recycle bin was left like this, I am sure it
has
deleted entries in my registry. When I ran a disk clean up just to see
what happened it did say that xxxmb was in recycle bin and do I want to
delete
it, it also freed that space up after deletion. Totally stumped as to how I
can fix this without a complete re-install,tried TweakUI but my recycle bin
has left town grrrr any help is much appreciated.
Thanks very much
Martin

Clean up the Norton Internet Security files and registry entries that were
left over by the uninstaller and see if this will fix the problem.

Using the Norton Removal Tool

After using the Norton Removal Tool then download the automated fix from
