151114 2003-06-09 01:36:00 Just out of curiousity: are you holding down SHIFT key when you delete the objects? I've been told this option stops the stuff that you delete, from appearing in the Recycle Bin.....? caffy (2665)
151115 2003-06-09 01:50:00 No Caffy I am not holding down the shift key, - thanks anyway.

151116 2003-06-09 01:57:00 Maybe your Recycle Bin has been set to empty it everytime you open it? Have a look in the properties, it might be in there?

Why are you wanting to see the contents of your recycle bin?

151117 2003-06-09 03:22:00 It sounds like your Recycle Bin icon got mixed up,

Right click on the desktop >Properties then go the effects tab there should be there( I am not using win XP so I am not too sure where the icons are)

Then click on the "default Icon" button that should fix it

Hope this helps.

151118 2003-06-09 13:18:00 Thanks Caffy the reason why I want to see the contends of my recyle bin is, that ocasionally I want to retrieve items which have been put in the bin by mistake.

Thanks Stu for your suggestion, but that was not the problem.

Right Click on Recycle Bin
Left Click on Properties
Under the "Global" Tab, Remove the tick from "Do Not Move Files To The Recycle Bin..."

Never did like any of their progs much.
