1. So, you want to recycle your recycle bin?

Or uncycle it?

Or bicycle it?

Or did you want to unicycle it?

:crazy:

9. He said it's Vista. I don't think it lets you do that anymore.

At least not without confirming 37 times and a note from your mom anyway.

[billyskank]

16. You know the stupidest thing about Vista?

As you allude, it asks you for confirmation of every single last damn thing...

except shutting down the computer, which it will do in a thrice without a second thought.

:crazy:

7. OMG sounds like something I would do.

[billyskank]

15. I figured out how I did it

(Having restored my recycle bin). When I right-click on it, the menu entry for "Empty Recycle Bin" is right next to the menu entry "Delete".

Good designing, Bill. :patriot:

10. 1. Open your recycle bin.

2. Find your "recycle bin" in the list of deleted files. Click once on it.

3. On the left side of your screen there should be an option to "restore this file". Click on it, and you'll be all set!

You can thank me later.

[billyskank]

13. Why didn't I think of that?

:dunce:

17. That's why they pay me the big bucks.

Well, my job here is done. :thumbsup:
