Hey Guys
thanks for your help. All done and dusted now.
Just FYI, and for others who are viewing this:
1. Deleting MY recycle bin didn't help
2. Running the Norton Antivirus didn't help - it couldn't find anything
3. Logging on as one of the other users on the PC, and discovering that THEIR recycle bin was the one that contained the virused files DEFINITELY HELPED. I emptied the trash, ran Antivirus again and presto - files deleted.
One curiosity though ....
I went to dos and did a cd c:\recycler PRIOR to emptying the other user's trash, did a DIR to see what was in there and it came back empty!Any explanations why I couldn't see the other user's trash in the recycling bin? I assumed DOS bypassed all those user securities?
Also, while I'm at it, what would I need to do to see ALL USERS trash bins when I'm signed on as me, WITH Administrative rights?
Cheers
K
