view the recycle bin files

[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.

You have your thoughts and practices - I have mine. To me, yours are
foolish.
