The name of the file is something like: $RTDJFDG.QBW (Quickbooks file).

I haven't tried copying the file to another location. I was worried that if
I copied it to another location, then I would have more than one corrupt file
on the system taking up more than 85MB. I can give it a shot, but I'm not
sure if that's a route I'd like to go. However, at this point, I'm game.

I've also read on another site about deleting the recycle bin all together
and Windows will automatically create a new one??? I have not given that a
try yet only because I'm not sure about Vista creating a new $recycle.bin if
it can't find one. Can anyone give insite on that?

Thank you again...

Bernie
