Does windows xp ever automatically empty the recycle bin? Or is that always a
manual operation?

Only manual, unless you have a third party program like CCleaner and have it
set to run automatically at a predetermined time such as on startup.

it's a manual operation; by default.
It is simply designed as a fail-safe idea, in case you delete something
accidently.

BUT, if you right-click on the Bin Iconselect Properties
Tick the box "do not move files to the Recycle bin. Remove files immediately
when deleted"ApplyOK.

You can also hold down "Shift" as you are deleting things to bypass the Bin.

Just a personal choice...I like to leave things in my bin for at least a
week in case I have stupidly deleted something I might actually need later,
but not every day :-))

No.

Manual, or with a third-party program.
