Value Data should be set to '0' to re-enable the properties option. '1' removes the the option which is what your current problem is.

>key looks as it should except that no name 'recycle bin' is shown but 'low disk space'

Are you saying that your reg key is differently to that given on that site? Are you sure you followed the correct path to that key? I don't have XP running at the moment to post my working registry key here.

Try resetting the Value Data to '0' first and see how that goes. Backup that key before applying changes. XP's help file should give instructions on how to do this if you are unfamiliar with the procedure.

That link that Susan provided was how to disable the Recycle Bin Properties and to do that '1' is correct. However, you want to do the reverse (re-enable it) so you need to change the '1' back to '0'

237897 2004-05-22 09:54:00 I don't have the key specified in that link in my registry but thought that you may be able to create it and set the value to 0 = disable restriction in order to enable the properties function as Jen has mentioned. Susan B (19)
237898 2004-05-22 10:38:00 Yep changing the value to 0 did it. Thanks Girls&Boys. Goodnight. Pete dinerouk (4690)
