Norton does sabotage the recycle bin as it creates its own to hasten the undelete function. Before XP it was simple to restore anything that was deleted but with XP Microsoft bought over a couple of the companies who made such tools and changed the way they erase files. In order to maintain this functionality Norton reverted back to a previous deletion methodology.

There is a setting in the Classic View of the Control Panel which lets you see the recycle bin again but it confusses Norton. There really ought to be a way to switch the Norton one off.

Glad you managed to retrieve it anyway before a lorry arrived and took it away for ever.

Thanks,Noobee I am getting a bit dis-enchanted with Norton's products,they seem to get into everything and slow things down,you have highlighted what I suspected that it was Nortons that removed it,it also got rid of my PC Doctor programme that really worked well.

Before XP the tools were great! They had quick programs to speed up and tune disks that were far superior to Microsnot's.

Now they seen to be more cumbersome. There are still some nice features but they have gotten more like MS taking more memory and diskspace for little reward.

I agree - they are now a bit disappointing!

Downloads for so called updates seem to plant things beneficial to them,altering toolbars and layouts that are not wanted,a bit more wary in future,if it works then why change things ?
