9640	2001-03-06 11:38:00	Help!All deleted items are bypassing the recycle bin. I have tryed checking and unchecking bypass box under properties. Can I reinstall Win.ME again to restore this function or will I lose all data and programs on the hard drive.	Guest (0)

Next have a look at the Global tab to see if you have the radio box beside 'configure drives independantly' check, try adjusting if you have. Another common reason for this that the HD is marked as removable, you can check this by ... Control Panel System Device Manager tab expand Disk Drives branch select your HD hit properties Settings tab make sure Removable isn't checked	Guest (0)
9642	2001-03-07 03:10:00	re your question... installing windows OVER the top of itself 'generally' means you don't loose your info or your preferences but it does depend on the system etc. If the problem you've got is due to a preference setting then reinstalling may not solve it. Best bet if you are going to reinstall is backup everything first just in case. BTW..if you upgraded from previous O/S and saved the system files then you'll need to save these too. If you adjusted the setting recently have you tried System Restore?	Guest (0)
