Can anyone help with this problem. I have images in the "My Pictures" folder that I wish to delete. Every time I try to delete the files they are automatically copied. Now I have close to 65 copies of all of my files and cannot delete them without making more and more! How do I disable this automatic copy feature so that I can delete my originals and multiple copies of my files? Thanks. Clare
 
Do you have any type of file protection program running like Norton's
Recycle Bin or the like? If so try disabling it or search the program's site
for a possible fix.

If you don't have such a program installed then how are you attempting the
Delete? Are you highlighting the files and then using "drag and drop" to
drag to the recycle bin? I so try highlighting the file(s) and then pressing
the Delete Key. Possibly a sticky mouse button or the like is causing the
copy command to be executed?

Or visit Kelly's Korner here http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm and
scroll down to the section on the Recycle Bin. She has a number of ideas
there. Try the "Replace/Repair the Recycle Bin" link she has there.
