Recyle Bin

[Nicole]

I don't know what I did, but I clicked on my Recycle Bin
icon on my desktop and was emptying it out when I
inadvertantly removed my file and folders tasks "section"
that was above the "other places" section. This is the
area that has the functions to empty recycle bin or
delete certain items in the recycle bin. Also, I can no
longer see what is in my recycle bin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated....I know it's
going to be something simple, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks.

Hi Nicole,

Put a check back in Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options to use Common
Tasks in Folders.

As per the issue:

Files not being listed in the Recycle Bin seem to be related to a corrupt
info2 file. To correct the issue (Fat32):
Go to Start/Run and type in CMD:

Type CD \RECYCLED, and then press ENTER.
Type ATTRIB -r -s -h info2, and then press ENTER.
Type DEL INFO2, and then press ENTER.

NOTE: This deletes the damaged INFO2 file. Windows will recreate this file
as needed, automatically.

You can often restore files even if it is not being listed in the Recycle
Bin by searching (Start/Search) for the files by name, once found rename
them. If the files still cannot be recovered, follow the steps above, then
reboot. They should now be listed.

Go to View/Explorer Bar, remove any check marks from options in that menu.
