Recycle Bin Empties Automatically
When I delete something, the window pops up, do you want to send to recycle bin? I say yes and when I look at recycle bin, it is there. After turning off computer and then turning it back on, the files are no longer in the recycle bin.
I used msconfig and removed all norton stuff to make sure it was not causing it, which it turns out, it is not.
I do not have Norton running my recycle bin. I have 10% space allocated.
I have SP2.

Check to see if you have a scheduled task running to empty the recycle bin when the system is shutdown.376

Double-click line 64; right-hand column at:

Copy/paste entire file into Notepad. Save to desktop as recycle.reg
Close all running applications and log off net. Double-click the new file. Allow it to update your registry. Reboot when it's done.

First, when I double click on the right side of 64, it brings up a download screen where I can run repairrecyclebin or save it. How can I do a Copy and Paste?
Confused

Okay, I did a right click instead of a double click and selected copy and pasted it into notepad and saved in desktop as recycle.reg
Is this correct?

Yes. Now either double-click the recycle.reg file on the desktop or right-click it and select "Merge" from the context menu. You will be asked to okay making the change to your registry.

Hang on a sec. If I right-click that link, the only "Copy" I get is for link location itself, not for the entire file. It may depend on what brower you use, I have netscape. So perhaps you want to allow it to save the file to your disk with the recycle.reg name. If I right-click, I'd select "Save Link Target as". The file should start with this on the very first line:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
