just recently going into My Computer, i noticed there is a new folder called $RECYCLE.BIN in both my C and D drive. obviously it has to do with the Recycle Bin, but i already have the folder "RECYCLER". so does anyone know why has this "$RECYCLE.BIN" suddenly appeared when i also have the "RECYCLER" aswell?
"RECYCLER" should be there, and it should be hidden.
What's in the $RECYCLE.BIN folder? If it looks like nothing important, I would just rename it to something else. If your computer doesn't have any problems after a while, just delete it.
i think its a temp store for you deleted files in your recycle bin
Same thing happens on my computer all these folders i never created appeared so i deleted them :P
jus do a disk cleanup n see what happens

I'll try this, in the each of the folders (one in each drive) there is only another folder that is empty and is called "S-1-5-18"
weird. . . .I would just delete them . . . unless they are in the windows folder,
Probably because you have both XP and Vista on the machine. Do you?
If that's the case then just leave it alone, since they'll just keep coming back anyways.
