I have accidentally inserted two files into the Recycle Bin created by
Windows with very long names. The recycle bin won't empty and I can see that
that they are still in there. I have tried a few registry fixers but they
don't work. They try to empty the Recycle Bin but they just go on and on and
on without solving the problem.

I use Windows XP Home.

Any suggestions.

Thank you.
 
Check if you can boot into command prompt mode and go to the recycle folder
in the concerned drive and delete the file suing the del command.
 
R.click on the recycle-bin icon,select "open",in the new window select
"restore
these items",exit when thru.Now locate the items,move them to a new folder
that you created,once thru,delete it,re empty recycle bin.
