    recycle bin

    I had lost my recycle bin several times, and each time I got it back by
    right click, personalize,change icon etc.etc. This time somethig strange
    happened. the bin that I got back will NOT show stuff inside after I deleted
    a file.It's a perpetual Empty Bin.
    What happened ?

    Consider this: Whenever a new error condition appears on your computer, it
    is almost certain that there was some change to the computer soon before the
    problem began.

    Re: recycle bin


    -- I ended up register to Vistax64.com and I read the instructions about
    icon-cache-rebuild. I couldn't even get past the step 1 ,which is ;" enter
    c:\users\(your name)\AppData\Local ". No such folder. Maybe my OS is vista
    home premium 32 bit, not 64.

    RE: recycle bin

    Glad you sorted it out. By the way "c:\users\(your name)\AppData\Local " is a
    hidden file. You must select show hidden files (Control Panel/Folder
    options/View)
