Recycle bin does not show files

I'm running vista business and whenever i send an item to the recycle bin, it
knows that there are x amount of files in it but if i open the bin to look at
the contents, it is blank. It realizes the files are in the bin because I
can empty it normally but I cannot see any of the contents of the bin.

Anybody else have this problem?

I do not see it as a problem just a difference.

I'm pretty sure the problem is explained here
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;136517

Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention Vista and I haven't been able,
thus far, to determine if the mentioned fix will work in Vista.
