Win2K - where are the recycle bin folders stored?

What is the path to the Recycle Bin folders? The property sheet for the desktop icon does not show target information. I've tried a file search using the words 'recycle' and 'delete' as keywords but the search did not return any useful information. I've tried looking in folders under Documents and Settings but I haven't run across anything.

I want to connect to a workstation through a VPN connection and move files to the Recycle Bin for that workstation.
 
Thanks andrey.

As soon as I read your response I realized what I overlooked, I had forgotten to set Explorer to show protected OS files. I guess I was not thinking too clearly yesterday morning when I posted the question. Thanks again for the response.

I decided to create a folder called "Disposal" to use as a container for files to be deleted. When I am physically at the workstation I can permanently delete the files.
 
A little extra info: it's strored in \RECYCLED on FAT partitions, but on NTFS partitions there is a directory called \RECYCLER. It has a subdirectory for each user (named with their SID). If you click on any of these subdirectories in Explorer you'll always get your own recycling bin, but if open a command prompt and go to those directories, you can see the contents of other users' recycling bins.
