hi frank

i'm running norton systemworks, and it takes control of the recycle bin. in fact, its new name becomes norton protected recycle bin. so between you and me, we may be comparing apples and oranges.

when i try to 'open' the recycle bin, nothing shows. yet when i go to empty it, i see there are 1500 files waiting to be purged. it isn't until i click 'norton unerase' that a wizard appears and displays all 1500 files for me to attempt to recover.

as for ownership.... in searching my files in windows explorer, i came across a file named 'recycle'. it's under (drive letter:)\winnt\media. the only reason i mention this is because if you follow the clickstream.... right click\properties\summary tab\expand origin .... you'll see 'ownership' attribute. right click that and read the 'what's this' dialog. it may shine a little light on what you are searching for.

hope this helps (but i doubt it)

:)
