| | How to remove recycle bin? Not sure how to remove it from desktop? I know there is an option somewhere to hide desktop icons. I don't want them all gone, just the recycle bin. |

Note however, your deleted items will still go first to the recycle bin unless you first change its settings in its properties to NOT send deleted files to the Recycle Bin. -- Michael Solomon Backup is a PC user's best friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ |

I had to find a system restore point that fixed the problem. It thus still remains a mystery why the recycle bin suddenly stopped refreshing automatically. Marco |

Marco It sometimes is caused when the Recycle Bin is accidently deleted. However in your case, it could of been some incompatible program that may have caused it. Do you remember if you installed or changed anything right before this happened? With Vista, it could be a number of things that can affect the refreshing. Wish I had a more specific answer for you.
