I don't use the Recycle Bin (or allow the system to put anything in it, i.e.
"shift delete" via explorer, but 99% of the time I'm in the console and
delete this way, when needed) but that doesn't mean the Recycle Bin it is
isn't checking. Isn't it even running as a process or service?

Anyway, I think your are right. I always thought it would be the virtual
memory manager that is doing the checking since that would be more global to
the system, and it does log it in the event logs. So if the OS is checking,
its only for the paging drives. I suspect it won't check for other
non-paging drives or partitions - no criteria to work with. So a custom
solution is the way to do this.
