This is a Dell Dimension running XP Pro. I have the recycle bin problem described elsewhere on this and other forums whereby deleted files do not go to the bin, but are directly deleted. I have fixed the problem temporarily by renaming the c:\recycler folder and then letting Windows create a new bin, then deleting the renamed folder. This lasts for a day or two then the problem returns. I'm looking for a more permanent fix short of reformatting. Any suggestions? Thanks.

R.click Recycle bin & select Properties.
Select the Global tab and ensure that the box alongside "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted" is not checked.
