Guest mad.scientist.jr@gmail.com Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I have a compact flash card which has no icon for recycling bin in Explorer. I could swear I have seen other CF cards that do have a recycling bin. It has never really mattered in the past because I just use the cards to transfer files but I am curious - is this something that can be enabled when you first format the card? If so how?

If you need recycle bins on your PDA, use Resco File Explorer. They have introduced this feature about 1.5 years ago. -- -- Werner "Menneisyys" Ruotsalainen - Microsoft MVP - Windows - Mobile Devices Please see the Pocket PC Mag Expert Blog (including mine) at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ - you will definitely like it. <mad.scientist.jr@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1188417210.651058.199810@r29g2000hsg.googlegroups.com... >I have a compact flash card which has no icon for recycling bin in > Explorer.
