Les, a bit late in responding to your guidance: the right click shows me the _empty recycle bin_ is greyed out whereas four or five other items are ready to open. Not sure what that indicates or even whether the item should be greyed out. There is no listing for _properties_ included with the listings of the right click. Thanks for your help and offer of further help.

Right click on your recycle bin. 2. Select Properties, and make sure you have NOT selected 'Don't move files to the recycle bin' Les Hardy On 04/12/11 15:18, Fred Powell, Sr. wrote: > Using Win7, 64 bit: > > 1.

Just to bring everyone up to date on this. Fred as now fixed his problem with the recycle bin and email. The recycle bin problem was caused by the "Dell Dock". We moved the recycle bin from the dock and onto the Desktop. The email problem was fixed by pasting the email into notepad, and then another copy paste into word.
