Re: Recycle Bin Weirdness

Question for you guys

My recycle bin does not work for my primary (c:) hard drive, but it does work for my external firewire drive (f:). When I delete a file from (c:), they do not go to the recycle bin yet when I delete a file from (f:) they do.

I right-click on the recylce bin and bring up "options"...it shows a window with 2 tabs ("global" and "F:") but no C: tab. Under "Global" I do have the same setting chosen for all drives with NO CHECK for the "do not remove files to recycle bin" option.

It's been this way for a long time, not sure what caused it. 

Any ideas?
