Thanks.

Look in the root folder on the drive for a file named "Autorun.inf" and
delete it.

And/or: Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

See line 404 - Prevent autorun.inf virus:

C:\Recycled = Recycle Bin. Did you upgrade from Win98 or older OS?
Sounds like you have an old Recycle Bin location. On my home system,
which I did upgrade from Win98 SE, has both Recycled & Recycler.

When is the last time you ran Disk Cleanup in the System Tools folder?
Just remember NOT to clean compressed files.


"The actual location of the Recycle Bin varies depending on the
operating system and filesystem. On the older FAT filesystems (typically
Windows 98 and prior), it is located in Drive:\RECYCLED. In the NTFS
filesystem (Windows 2000, XP, NT) it can be found in Drive:\RECYCLER,
with the exception of Windows Vista which stores it in the
Drive:\$Recycle.Bin folder."
