Found a reference to recycle bin repairs
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm [scroll down to recycle...]
Worked my way through the listed solutions but the one that did the trick is
to go into command prompt and rd /s /q c:\recycler and reboot.
Didn't have to run the second part of the recommended fix
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/restorerecyclebin.reg
Windows will recreate the deleted system folder for the recycle bin upon
reboot and give it the default settings. All good now. [whew!]
