| 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. Fritz |

| 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. |
