From: Tim Meddick on 10 Jun 2010 20:43 I quote myself : "Should the Recycle Bin ever actually reach the max-size you set, no more files can be sent to it and will have to permanently deleted, with no chance of recovery" Does it say anywhere that there WON'T be a Windows "pop-up" dialog box? It is you who are libellous, saying that I spread ignorance.... Really, who doesn't know that you get an obligatory dialog box informing that the Recycle Bin is at max-capacity? What I was pointing out was; there's no benefit in reaching full capacity - nothing happens except the Recycle Bin can no-longer accept any more files and, as it cannot be stored in the Recycle Bin, must be permanently deleted (or, bloody obviously, not deleted at all). == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Greg Russell" <grussell(a)example.con> wrote in message news:87deciFdb2U1(a)mid.individual.net... > In news:#j0cQtPCLHA.5808(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl, > Tim Meddick <timmeddick(a)o2.co.uk> typed: > >> If you could make the max-size, say, 500Mb, what then? >> >> There's no benefit to the Recycle Bin reaching the full capacity - >> it's not like when you do, whistles and bells go off or that the bin >> automatically does something! > > Au contraire, MonSewer ... > > When the R.B. is active and gets full, any additional file deletions via > the > GUI Windows Explorer will result in a popup dialog informing the user > that > the deleted file cannot be saved to the R.B., with the dialog choice to > delete it permanently or cancel the requested delete. > > Whether you consider that a "benefit" or not is entirely your subjective > opinion, but don't spread your ignorance about the R.B. as you are doing. > >

Learn to quote what you're responding to *above* your response, then people won't won't have to guess your context.

From: Tim Meddick on 10 Jun 2010 22:19 I think it may be you who is the "child" here. I take the time and trouble to defend myself in as polite and coherent a manner as possible, and all you do is want to trade insults and attempt to intimidate someone who is [probably] twice your age. == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) P.S. On Top-Posting - I have to be true to my convictions, and belief that one should treat others in the exact way you would like to be treated. As such, I will continue to top-post and edit (snip) where and how I see fit. Readers are free to choose to avoid reading my replies if they so-wish, and no-one is "forcing" anyone to do anything in a newsgroup. They are not obliged to read through a post they feel is difficult to understand because I choose to place the reply [newer] text first. And they are certainly not obliged to, having read through a post that was supposedly too difficult to read, to then complain about reading it. I have always found it bothersome in the extreme, to have to wade through mountains of "past-quoted-post" to get to the "new stuff", as so many don't bother to edit away text that is not necessary to include in every post, and so I post how I would very much like to read posts.

OK, then reduce the numbers in the Max size window.
