Recycle Bin

Not sure where to ask this but will try here.

Using the Norton Protected Recycle Utility from "Norton Utilities 2002" and Windows XP home.

When a file is deleted and appears in the recycle/recovery list just how was this file "protected"? Is the original physical location of the file reserved and the bin just a pointer? Is the original file actually moved to another location used by the bin function? If yes, is the file compressed? If yes, is the compression algortihm lossy or non-lossy?

My basic "concern" is with image files. Will a recovered image file have any degradation in quality compared to its original, deleted file?

Thanks.

As far as I know, it's not compressed or moved, it's just renamed and hidden.
