Using WIN XP with FAT 32 the recycle bin on each users desktop was the same. Each user saw all users deleted items.

I converted to NTFS and the recycle bin on my desktop contains ONLY items that I deleted.

If I login as other users, their recycle bin contains only their deleted items.

I understand this is a good thing. But how can I view & or delete users recycle bin files?

Thanks...Bob

In practice, by logging in as those users. As an administrator, you
could delete the *entire* content of a users bin on a disk, but would
have to find the correct SID number for him, in registry under
HKEY_USERS, then open the Recycler folder on that drive, Take Ownership
(temporarily) of his folder, named by the SID (one such for each user),
and delete *everything* in it. I do not recommend trying.

Thanks for responding Andrew. Your instructions are how to delete or
restore files in the recycle bin. My question was..with a clarification.

Clarification: I want to be able to do this signed in on my administrator
account.

I do not want to log in as the user. I want to be logged in as admin, and
be able to view what is in each users recycle bin.
