Recycle Bin
I upgraded from ME (system file corrupted) to Windows XP.
Recycle Bin doesn't work. Error Message:"The directory or file cannot be created". Attempts to create the path and directory were not successful. Product ID still shows ME Product ID as OEM not the new Windows XP ID so MicroSoft Support is useless. Help Please
