Hi ?B?Tmljdmlj?=,
everytime i send a file to the recycle bin it dissapears ( ithought i was supposed to be stored in recycle bin until recycle bin was emptied) why is this happening? Exactly where are you doing the deleting? What steps are you using? Are the files you're deleting stored locally, on your hard-drive? Or in a network location? Or removable media? When you perform the delete action, do you see a recycle bin graphic on the screen (gray and green)? Or something else (more reddish)?

In other words, you're being asked whether you want to delete it, not
whether you want to send it to the Recycle Bin. This is probably a Windows setting. -- Suzanne S.

Hi ?B?Tmljdmlj?=,
my computer is networked (child comp) i press the delete button on the keyboard and a dialog appears saying do you wish to delete this item You need to speak to your IT department. The "Recycle bin" feature doesn't work for all media. It won't work, for example, if the file is stored on the "A" drive (a diskette) because the Diskette doesn't support a Recycle bin. Apparently, your network doesn't support this. You need to ask your IT people whether this is generally the case, or if there's a problem with your particular configuration.

I'm very sorry you're having this problem, but it is emphatically not a
problem that is caused by or in any way related to Microsoft Word. You need to post your question in a Windows NG. -- Suzanne S.
