[Guido]

Hi Folks,

Me again, IT numpty or "Complete Jonah" whichever takes your fancy.

Been having a problem with my recycle bin recently.

Basically whenever I delete a sub-directory from my machine, and it ends up in the Recycle Bin, I then cannot remove it from there or any other single files that are in the bin at the same time.

When I try to "Empty the Recycle Bin" in the normal way, I get the attached error.

If I open the Recycle Bin as a Windows Explorer type window and try and directly delete the Sub-Dirs from there I get the message again. I can however delete single files from this window but not the Sub-Dirs.

I formatted my machine (AGAIN) on Saturday and reinstalled my whole OS and programs. Now after a couple of days of work, I am back to square one with the Recycle Bin not emptying now there are sub-dirs in it.

Running XP Pro with SP2. Done a Google search and nothing is to be found along the lines of my error

Anyone have any ideas (apart from chucking the sodding thing in the skip of course!!!!!).

Many thanks, Guy

(PS couldn't have a more perfect avatar could I!!!!!)
