| | Corrupted file in Recycle Bin? Windows Vista Home Premium I receive a message when attempting to delete any file or any action regading the Recycle Bin that reads: "The Recycle Bin on C:\ is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?" There is a choice for Yes and No. When I choose "Yes" the notice posted that it is "Deleting 1 item (2.28 KB)" and the progress bar indicates activity. When I click on the "More information" button, I find it is indicating: Time remaining: Calculating... Items remaining: Discovered 1 item (2.28 KB)... Speed: Calculating... This morning I started the process and went out for breakfast. On my return an hour and one-half later it was still running. When I open the Recycle Bin, no items show, but the the dreaded messsages appears. I will close only when clicking the "No" button twice. Any thoughts or ideas appreciated? |

I usually Google but thought my problem was unique... right-click on a bare spot on your desktop, choose "Personalize" and then choose "Change Desktop Icons" (over on the left panel). The checkboxes will give you whichever icon you wish to have displayed - Recycle Bin is one of them. Questor |
