    Question Recycle bin ???

    I have a strange one with my XP Pro/SP2 machine, I can not empty my recycle bin. I get a messagen that DC# so & so is in use by another person or program, I have scanned the system to check for a possible virus and fiddled here and there. I have to boot into Safe Mode and then delete them one by one, anyone have any cluses on this one?

    Thanks Wes, strangely it has been emptying fine since I did the DOS thing to it. One of the files must have been stopping the rest.
