    Windows XP - Recycle Bin question

    I got a new laptop for Christmas. I'm having a weird problem.
    Whenever I delete or drag something to the recycle bin, it disappears!
    No warning, no nothing. It never appears in the recycle bin, it's just gone.

    Any ideas?
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Try this...

    Right-click on the recycle bin, go to properties and make sure "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted" is unchecked.

    Nope. It's not checked.

    Lisa is the box "use one setting for all drives" in the properties checked? It sounds like your deleted files may be going to the recycle bin of another identity. (ie: administrator, a different partition or drive) Try checking that option if it is not already. Reboot.

    That work?
