[.ShellClassInfo]
CLSID={645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
is from the desktop.ini file from
%systemdrive%\RECYCLER\Your SID #
S-1-5-21-1708537768-1580436667-1202660629-1003 is MY SID #.
This pasted in Start | Run opens the desktop.ini file....
C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1708537768-1580436667-1202660629-1003\desktop.ini
That is the only way I know how to find and open that particular desktop.ini
file.
When you delete a file, the complete path and file name is stored in a
hidden file called Info2.
This pasted in Start | Run...
C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1708537768-1580436667-1202660629-1003\INFO2
will open the Open With applet that you can then use to select Notepad to
open the INFO2 file if you so desire.
From my INFO2 file...C:\Documents and Settings\Wesley P. Vogel\Desktop\avipurge.vbs
C : \ D o c u m e n t s a n d S e t t i n g s \ W e s l e y P . V o

Those are the two items that I have in my recycle Bin right now.
I know nothing about Linux.

Buck <Buck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I can't rest till I find the answer to little mysteries like this. I
recently installed Linux in a dual boot with Windows XP Home SP2. In my
Linux folder /home there is a folder named /Recycled. I don't believe it
was there originally after I installed Linux. It contains two files:
desktop.ini and INFO2. Desktop.ini is of course a Windows system file. It
contains two lines of text: [.ShellClassInfo] and
CLSID={645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}. In Linux I did a search in
the main Windows directory (C:) for a file containing that text and found
three, all in a different subfolder of C:\recycler, each subfolder
representing individual users. The CLSID number does represent the
recycle bin in the registry. I suspect that the folder /home/Recycled in
the Linux partition might have been installed by Windows after I
installed a small utility to permit me to mount and access my Linux
directories in Windows with drive letters. The mystery is that I cannot
find those desktop.ini files in the subfolders of C:\Recycler from
Windows. I have enabled viewing hidden folders and system folders, and I
can see desktop.ini files in other folders. The files in question are
plain to see when I open the folders in Linux. Is there a folder/file
type in Windows which is super-hidden? And if Windows created this
folder, why is it named "Recycled" instead of "RECYCLER?" Thanks.
