One of my two boxes running XP Pro has developed a problem with the Recycle
bin.

The bin shows as empty. I delete something and get the normal dialog if you
want to send it to the recycle bin, reply Yes and it vanishes. Recycle bin
still shows empty icon and opening the bin shows no contents. Running disc
cleanup shows that the recycle bin has 0 KB.

It's almost like doing a shift del (bypassing the recycle bin and directly
deleting) but I do get the delete confirmation dialog that specifies recycle
bin. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Right Hand Click Recycle Bin
Click on Properties

If Check ..... uncheck ......Apply ... OK

Do not move files to the Recycle Bin,
Remove files immediately when deleted.

if not Check check it ......Apply then
uncheck ......Apply ... OK

Yes, I did check that. Global tab > Use one setting for all drives > (do not
move files to recycle bin...) is unchecked.

This is on both of my XP Pro machines. The newer of the two is working
properly. The older one that ran Norton AV at one point (with protected
recycle bin) is the one that has the problem.

Norton was replaced by Trend Micro OfficeScan (by our company) about 2 years
ago. Never had the problem until recently. Would guess that something is
strange in the Registry and was affected by recent updates.
