Answer»  I am running Windows 2000.  When I OPEN the recycle bin I can't see any of the items in there.  I have the "delete items permanently instead of recycle bin" check box cleared.  Thanks for your helpWhat are you asking us?He is asking why the contents of the recycle bin are not showing even though files are supposed to be inside.  "delete items permanently instead of recycle bin" check box cleared. It's cleared so that the deleted files go into the recycle bin. Clear as mud, typical windows, push enter to exit, push start to shutdown What Fred said. The only thing that I have in it now is a shortcut that I didn't need. Where is the recycler folder at? Quote The only thing that I have in it now is a shortcut that I didn't need. So there is something in there? If you delete a file now, does it show in the recycle bin? Are you running disk cleanup as a scheduled TASK? Disk cleanup, along with many 'aftermarket' things will empty your recycle bin.Yes there is a short cut icon in there and no I haven't RUN any of the cleaners since I put it in there. I think it started when I started using a theme...maybe I'll try removing the theme. I wouldn't think that would affect it though... Quote If you delete a file now, does it show in the recycle bin?No"You can also delete items by dragging them into the Recycle Bin. If you press SHIFT while dragging, the item is deleted from your computer without being stored in the Recycle Bin." How do you delete files?I just drag them to the recycle bin. Quote I just drag them to the recycle bin. With the shift key pushed or possibly the Caps lock on?I don't think so...Try DELETING a file by right clicking on it & selecting delete?  |
