Thanks for the link. I'll try it. I know the default setting for
Recycle Bin is unchecked but for quite some time it has always been checked
when Disk Cleanup is started. I just assumed Microsoft had changed the
default in one of their updates and didn't inform the users. Although my
reasoning was flawed, it was based upon past behavior of Microsoft.
Thanks again. I appreciate your help.
C.B.
