Gary,
Try going to "Kelly's XP Corner" at:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm an on line #64, right hand
column you will find "Replace/Repair the Recycle Bin in Windows XP. The
instructions for using it are at the top of the "Tweaks" page. Give it a try
and see if it fixes your problem.

Hope this helps,

Milt
 
Same thing happened to me. Right click recycle bin and click the box that says "Do not move files to the recycle bin, automaticall delete files"
