Recycle Bin Settings Not Retained During Windows 2000 Upgrade

After you upgrade to Windows 2000, from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft Windows 95, or Microsoft Windows 98, your settings for the Recycle Bin may be different than they were before you upgraded.

This issue can occur because the settings for the Recycle Bin are not migrated during the upgrade.

To resolve this issue, right-click Recycle Bin, click Properties, configure the settings you want, and then click OK.

The Recycle Bin settings for Windows 95 and Windows 98 are in the registry. The Recycle Bin settings for Windows NT 4.0 are kept on disk.
