Richard Urban (mvp)s Errors

[Guest]

why don't you provide an option to open/view the file while it's in the
recycle bin instead of restoring it just to view it

The option is there. Try a right click on the recycle bin. See what you can
do.

No it's not. The only options for a single file are Restore, Cut, Delete,
and Properties.

To me, viewing the files is seeing what files are contained in the recycle
bin.

Why would you even want to "open" a file that is in the recycle bin. It may
have been deleted by an anti spyware program you have running or by your
anti virus program. By opening the file from the recycle bin you could well
become infected with a keylogger, virus, trojan, worm etc.

Sorry! I will not go down that route - nor will I allow my clients to travel
the path either.

Anti-spyware and Anti-virus does not dump in the recycle bin.
You don't like to admit you are wrong Urban.
I despise people like you.
You are only here to feed your ego.

I did not say you "will" become infected. I said you could well become
infected.

And yes, in years past I have seen lesser known anti spyware programs delete
files to the recycle bin.

If a file is quarantined it is safe. But, are you certain that every single
anti virus program and every single anti spyware program out there does NOT
place files in the recycle bin when the files in these quarantine folder are
deleted? I sure am not certain of that fact.

If a person is going to open a file from the recycle bin, just to see what
it is, he will also open each email attachment he receives - due to the same
curiosity.

Utter rubbish; you don't liked to be proved wrong.
The original question was about why he could not open a file in the recycle
bin; and you gave the WRONG information by telling him that he could.
Admit you are wrong, for once in your miserable life.

I will admit to misreading his question in that I was responding to the
header and not the posts contents. My answer was correct for the heading. Do
as I say and you can view the recycle bin files.

I do not think it is a good idea to "open" files in the recycle bin. Others
must feel the same way - hence there is no option to do so.

My personal life is none of your concern, but it is far from miserable. It
is quite fulfilling in fact.

You though, do seem to have a problem.

If you did attempt to open a file in the recycle bin (if it was possible) that was a deleted
quarantined virus, I would have thought that your AV programme would tell you that it's a virus,
given that it quarantined it in the first place.

In that case, the antivirus would catch it again, I would think.

But what about those troublesome infections where you have to manually rid
the system of the infection. There are tens of dozens of those. So, you go
through all the steps and modify the registry and delete maybe 8-10
different files that go to the recycle bin.

A week later, forgetting what you went through, you foolishly open a deleted
file "to see what it is". Bang. You could be infected all over again.

I don't want to go there, and I don't want the people who's computers I work
on to have the capability of doing that either.

As I said, others must think along the same lines or the function would be
there. It is likely that viewing/executing files from the recycle bin was
omitted by consensus.

I can't believe you wasted our time by responding to a HEADER and not the
BODY of a post. If we all did that, there'd be no one posting here because
HEADERS don't say much. How would you respond to a HEADER that said,
"Recycle Bin"?

I'm not trying to join any bandwagon bashing MVPs, but this seems pretty
lame.

I can't believe I am replying to you. I read the post but the header stayed
in my mind. It was an ACCIDENT on my part. I have been up all night with a
sick grandson and was tired. Geesh!

Get over it guys.

Safe Hex is always the best policy instead of relying on your av software.

Deleted Registry Values and Keys DO NOT go to the recycle bin.
I don't think you should post here; you have lost the plot.

 

[Guest]

All you have to do Urban, is say that your reply was WRONG.
But your bloated EGO stops you.

[Richard Urban]

I didn't say that the registry keys go there dummy. But I did say that you
delete the required registry keys and 8-10 files. The 8-10 files **DO** go
there.

Now, get off your band wagon. You have as much trouble comprehending as I do
sometimes, but I can blame it on age. Your excuse is what - arrogance?
