Hello
I have almost the same problem. I have a mont old Windows XP SP2 and 2 hdds:
1st with system and NTFS (100GB)
2nd with FAT32 (40GB)
I can see all hidden and system files, but I had no Recycle folder on C:/. So I copied it from another computer in ethernet with NFTS as a system disc.
Now I have a folder C:/Recycled (with icon:)), but if I put some files in it they got somewhere else!
The folder C:/Recycled is always empty, but the files aren't deleted from HDD. (If I want to Empty Recycle Bin it'll say:,,Really delete e.g. 30 files?"; I put a file in C:/Recycled and it says:,,Really delete 31 files?" and so on.) So the files aren't disappearing.
I found out the files moved into C:/Recycled are saved in c:/RECYCLER, but with invalid names and valid extensions.
======================
So I can write to the folder where C:/Recycled points (C:/RECYCLER), but I cannot read from there through C:/Recycled.
======================
I played with PROPERITIES of Recycle Bin C:/Recycle, but with no relevant results.
I also tryed chkdisk in Command logged as admin, but I says 0 kB invalid sector (or sth. like that).
All users including Admin have this problem.
By the way, the Recycler folder on 2nd FAT32 drive works fine.
So ANY help will be welcome!
Thanks a lot!
