Does anyone know how to get the MAXIMUM size of the recycle bin? I'm using C# 2003. Thanks!

Recycle Bin Size
- Thread starter bigtimmin
- Start date
Windows allocates a percent of each drive for the Recycle Bin and not a mximum size as you are looking for.
That percent is set by right-clicking on Recycle Bin, choosing Properties, setting the percentage, and clicking on OK.
It is possible to do that programatically.

I finally found it in the registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket.
Silly me, I was searching the registry for recycler or recycle bin.
