    Recycle Bin Shows No Files

    XP Pro SP2 with all updates. Used to have Norton. No longer have Norton. I delete a file and it does not show in Recycle bin. I checked MS Support and found the registry entry to be as required. Probably deleted a file along the way that should not have been deleted.

    SECURITY &amp; PERMISSIONS
