Recycle Bin is invisible

**FastGame** · September 23rd, 2002, 02:01 AM

Don't usually use the trash bin...but was filling it up with little things so I could check out my new icon...lol When I opened it up there's nothing to be seen yet if I go to empty trash it says are you sure you want to delete these 5 files ??

Maybe you are throwing away the hidden files of MS. lol or 5 transparent icons. hehe. The option to "empty recycle bin" should be greyed out if empty already. - of course you know that.
Let me know if the other thing helped.

And how did I know that it wouldn't take long for you to pounce upon my misfortunes...

The other thing worked fine...

hahaha - lynchnode - What's YRF? Well at least you got that one thing fixed. Why don't you put some more stuff into your "bin" and see if it becomes invisible - lol!!!
Hey did you notice the numbers on the top right of these posts? (post 1, post 2 .......etc.) no , serious...put something in there and see.

I have a bright red Adware icon in there which I can't see...I now have 16 things in there I can't see or any description of the files. Yet if I hit empty trash it ask if I'm sure I want to delete these 16 files.

Just want to know if I have a problem or my Son applied some Hacker trick so I couldn't see if he was deleting porn.....lol

YRF...your real funny

Does this occur under his log in too?

Thanks lynchknot , you had me put so much crap in the trash & it wouldn't empty....lol

I used the disk clean up utility & it said the Recycle Bin was corrupt and gave me a warning that I clicked OK too & the dam thing got uncorrupted

All is well.
