Guest The_Newb_Avenger Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 I don't know my brother's password for his account, nor will he ever tell me. Also, I know how to make it so that you don't have to input a password; though I don't want that. Um, basically, is there any way I could view what is in his Recycle Bin? I remember he deleted some of my stuff, but didn't delete it from the Recycle Bin (or fully, I guess you could say). And it was some pretty important stuff, too. ;_; I could view his Documents and the like, but that's about as far as I could go. I could also view his Desktop, but his Recycle Bin isn't there. Any help? Thanks in advance.

Guest Ace Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Re: Accounts. The 'Recycle Bin' is a hidden system folder located under: C:\Recycler Showing hidden files and folders you'll notice the folder has inside it a recycle bin icon, with a numbered name. Inside are the 'deleted' files. It should be possible to move files out of this folder without any extra tools. Note that each drive has it's own recycle bin, just replace the drive letter. May I suggest you back up your personal files regularly to an external disk such as an USB flash drive, and set up some security on your user account to prevent your brother from accessing your personal documents. http://supportpcs.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=164 &Itemid=30 =?Utf-8?B?VGhlX05ld2JfQXZlbmdlcg==?= <TheNewbAvenger@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in news:C32A87F0-1626-46F4-93EC-9AD7037D9776@microsoft.com: > I don't know my brother's password for his account, nor will he ever > tell me.

There is a folder for each *user* (who has used his/her Recycle Bin) under C:\Recycler. Whether a non-admin user can even see another's folder I'm not sure. But in any case removing files this way may well trash the bin's hidden tracking file, which keeps note of what's inside and where it originally came from, and cause the bin to throw a fit. >May I suggest you back up your personal files regularly to an external >disk such as an USB flash drive, and set up some security on your user >account to prevent your brother from accessing your personal documents. >http://supportpcs.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=164 >&Itemid=30 That *is* a good idea. -- Nightowl
Guest Ace Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Re: Accounts. Good point about moving files, instead I should have said that Right- clicking files and choosing 'Restore' would be the better option there as I now see that it seems to be available as an option while working inside this system folder.
