Why is it that on most Windows 2k/XP machines I have played with, there seems to be an error message upon deletion of a file stating that the recycle bin is corrupt? How is this problem resolved? Any help is appreciated.

I found that by going into your drives via explorer you see the hidden folder called recycler, delete the contents. The recycle bin normally is then restored
