Disabling Recycle Bin by User

[Tom]

I want to disable the recycle bin for my (non-
administrator) user account but leave it enabled for the
other accounts on my XP Pro computer. Is there a way to do
this?

As in you want anything they delete to be gone immediately, with no chance
of recovery? Or you don't want them to be able to change the Recycle Bin's
settings?

Sorry my question wasn't clear.

I want files that are deleted in one user account (which
is a non-admin user) to be deleted with no chance of
recovery while other users (including my own admin
account) still use the recycle bin.

Can this be done?
