Recycle Bin won't show any delete files
Hello experts:
I just found my Recycle bin (win2000) didn't show any delete files. It is empty. I don't know what happen and how to fix it. If someone knows some solution, please let me know. Thanks!
By the way, if I don't post on the right topic, please tell me where I need post.

Hi LucF:
Thanks for your quick reply! I just check the property of Recycle bin, that checkbox is uncheck. I only have C drive on my PC. I try to delete files again, I still can't find the files in Recycle Bin.

And also the user rights if you are not Administrator on the said system. I had similar troubles on an over-secured system once.
Note that remote files (network shares) NEVER get into the recycle bin, no matter what. For those it is like Linux files... Gone means gone for ever (unless you have backups).

I have the Administrator Right, and also even I delete the local file, still have the same problem.
Actually, I had another problem since yesterday, not sure it associated with my Recycle Bin problem or not. After I found my computer had a lot of pop up window and keep asking you to download some software (it happened yesterday) , I used Ad-Aware to scan my computer and delete all of the files that it found. Looks like it doesn't work very well, because when I restart my PC, still keep asking you install someting or missing some files, tell you can't init .... I have to restart couple of times then it work. So far, I wasn't sure that it is virus or I delete wrong files from my Ad-Aware6.0.

Just to be sure:
Right-click the recycle bin, choose "Properties"
Uncheck "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediatley when deleted"
