No Undo (CTRL+Z) option, permanently greyed out

[eurotech]

Hello,

I just noticed this problem when I sent a file to the Recycle Bin, and then
decided that I needed it. The usual method I use is to right click the
desktop and then select UNDO.

Unfortunately, the UNDO command never appears in the right click context
menu. Clicking on EDIT in the menu bar reveals that UNDO (CTRL+Z) is greyed
out. Using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+Z produces no results.

It doesn't matter if I delete a file, move a file, or rename a file the UNDO
menu never appears in the right click context menu nor does the UNDO command
under the EDIT menu ever become activated. It seems the UNDO option is
permanently disabled.

Is there a registry setting controlling this that I can change? I am running
WinXP 64-bit with SP2 slipstreamed. I chose 64-bit over 32-bit because I have
8GB of RAM installed.

Hi,
This greyed-out thing is normal when the Recycle Bin is empty AND you have
checked the option of not sending them there.
You might want to right-lick on the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop and
check its properties.

Dear Carlos:

I've never tried right licking an icon. Just how does that work?

Regards,

You press your right cheek against the monitor screen close
to the icon and then you right lick the icon until it
disappears!

Yes, all very funny. Unfortunately for me, I'm still at a lost as to why the
UNDO option never works. My Recycle Bin is not disabled though, but that was
a good guess. I right licked it to make sure.
