you should check out the properties of the recycle bin (right-click) then de-click the option to delete the files and not remove them to the recycle bin. In this case, it will send it to the recycle bin.... Hope that is it..

Gideon,
That was not my problem. It was already set up correctly in Properties.
I have had this happen before and reinstalling Windows XP will correct it, but I want to fix what's making it change.

I am not familiar with the service packs that much. Did you, prior to the problem, have a service pack installed??
