Recycle bin full
Help!!! My recycle bin is full!!! I didn't do it, I don't even know what
some of the stuff is. A ton of stuff was put in it on June 19 and I wasn't even home then. In fact, there are a couple things in there that were in my documents (lists of medications, etc.) that I know I didn't put in there.

Simply select all of the things in the Recycle Bin and choose "restore". They will all go back to where they should. And then you need to think about who had access to your computer. This is not the sort of thing that can magically happen all by itself. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ

FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ Thanx - but there are 2,936 things in there and they were all put there on the same date almost at the same time!!!! .. No one else has access to my computer. Should I restore them or just permanently delete them?

Recycle bin full
That would depend on what they are.
It may be your temp files overflowed, or some other utility is at work. I thought that would take a lot, but it's just a possibility. I would also check your security, if you weren't home, both home and computer. Change your password, and the administrator. (but remember them!) "peter4" wrote in message ...

Thanks - but I'm still confused and I think I'll have somebody look at this.
I am 99% sure no one else has used my computer and I don't really want to restore all this stuff if I don't need to. Thank you all for the suggestions. When I find out, I'll post again.
