Recycle Bin size

Pardon me if this has already be posted. Windows has a default Recycle Bin size of 10%, on a 40gig drive that is 4gigs of wasted space, I always shrink it down to 1%. 400 megs is still a sizable waste basket.

Nope, don't think anyone has posted that, thanks for reminding me though, I never reduced it since I loaded XP.

I run without one. Set all my drives to zero. Everything gets deleted first off.
I have no problem with that. Wish I knew how to get rid of the useless bin icon in xp...

Right clik on the icon and hit properties. Then go from there.
