The Recycle Bin is implemented by the Windows Explorer shell, not the lower layers of the OS. When you "delete" a file in Explorer, what actually happens is the file gets moved to the \RECYCLER folder in the root directory of the filesystem. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Explorer is responsible for creating that directory initially, and that Microsoft forgot to handle the case where a folder gets mounted without ever having a drive letter. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
