recycle bin error winXPsp2
Windows XP Pro SP2, when deleteing an item, rather than sending it to the recycle bin after the confirmation dialogue " do you want to send this to the recycle bin?", the item simply vanishes...it is not in the recycle bin. i have right-clicked the properties if the recycle bin and the "Do not move files to the recycle bin. Remove files immediately when deleted" box is unchecked... anyone have any ideas?

Are you deleting files from a shared folder across the network? If so they will not go to the recycle bin
Also if you are holding the shift key down to select multiple files but not releasing the key before delete it will do this.
Hence, If you hold down the shift key while delete it bypasses the recycle bin.

I did not read the link that michko posted before posting my answer, if his post does point to network deletes not going to the recycle bin then please share the points with him

Have you tried this:
check the "Remove files immediately when deleted" box.
reboot the system,
the go back in and uncheck the "Remove files immediately when deleted" box.
reboot the system?
Hope this helps!
