4 gigs. it's stored on my 250 GB drive, though, so I only empty it out every 6 months.

it's saved my butt more than once.

I dont have a recycle bin. I have an icon where I can drop stuff..however this icon is a link to a command which overwrites the file/dir 38 time using the Guttman techniques.

i dissable the bin delete means fusking delete

i also remove it from the desktop

Bingo!

Even if I wanted it, I couldn't have it as most of my work is on mapped drives and the recycle bin does not work on mapped drives.

Cheers!
