| | Can't empty trash It takes several attempts for me to empty the trash, it's taken over an hour and a half to manually keep telling it to empty the trash over and over and over again until all files deleted... This is really annoying, is there a way that empty trash or 'delete immediately' can delete without repeated manual intervention? |

| | Re: Can't empty trash Hey Zack, Thanks so much, I actually dicovered the UAC switch as I was hunting around... It definitely helped a lot... Now if I can only track down why my network won't auto connect to my wireless network and why it won't connect to the net through my cat 5 router I'll be happy... Darn Radeon 9800 Vista drivers caused me problems, had to force XP drivers for the videocard... Not as fast but at least I can keep testing the software...
