[To see the files listed in the Recycled Folder
Go to Start/Run and type in: CMD. At the prompt type in: cd\
[enter] then cd Recycled [enter] then dir [enter].
They will listed similar to this: Dc25.url, Dc26.lnk, etc. If
Windows is installed on D:\, it will then be listed as Dd25, etc.
The number represents the number of file deleted.
A hidden folder is created on each volume that has the recycle bin
enabled named Recycled. Any deleted files are moved to this folder
and renamed to: C<original drive letter><number file
deleted>.<original extension> and the original full name and path
stored in a mapping file Info2. For example the file name:
C:\
www.dbknox_faq.com\index.html would become Dc1.html (if it was
the first file deleted on the partition).
When the Recycle Bin becomes full, Windows starts deleting files to
make room for newly deleted files. These files are still recoverable
until you 'empty' the Recycle Bin.]
