I'm not Les, but instead of right clicking on the Recycle Bin icon, did you left click to open it?

Joy, thank you. I will try your suggestion. I really appreciate your asking how we are coming along, thanks very much. The granddaughter is in touch with her Mom now and then so we are doing much better. Thanks for your kindness and guidance.

Left clicking on recycle bin did bring up properties. There were three items within the properties with one additional at top: the name of OS: C and size 1. Custom size was checked. Maximum size (MB): 49233 2. Not checked was: Don't move files to recycle bin. Remove files when deleted. 3. Checked: display delete confirmation Thanks again for your guidance.

Fred, Sr. -- I have no other ideas for you, Sorry. But, it was funny, when I went back to check -- the properties showed up when I just right clicked on the recycle bin icon on my desktop. It did not show up when I first tried it. The computer gremlins struck again. We will have to wait for someone with more knowledge than I have to see if there is another setting for this.....
