I can't empty the recycle bin, dialog comes up but it doesn't empty.
Have to go in and manually delete all the files, a bug ? or what ?
 
Did you install any IE tool bars?

Especially MS Desktop Search?

If you did, remove them and see if the issue still exists.

Try running chkdsk with the /f switch.

I had the same problem and it was a damaged file in the recycler folder.

Chkdsk fixed everything for me.

PS
Don't forget to run it from cmd with admin privileges.
