Makeing the recycle bin smaller in XP

I saw somthing about XP uses like 4 GB if you have a 20 or 40 GB hd.I think the person said they put it to like 40mb. But, I dont remember if they said how they did it.

So could someone please tell me where i can make my recycle bin smaller than that many GB.

Thanks

Send a message via ICQ to RJ
Rightclick on Recycle Bin, there you can edit the settings for it, including the setting how big the recycle bin can be.

Cool

My copy of XP Pro had defaulted to 10% of a 20G drive. I lowered it to 3%. Maybe should be lower.
