Hi Ben,

Hey, you're right. I'd never noticed these "recycled" directories
on the other drive partitions before. They all seem to hold just
a small hidden file called "desktop.ini" - strange. Actually, now
that I think about it, I think I configured W95 to _not_ save
stuff in the "recycle bin", when I installed it. Perhaps that's an
option to minimize the potential for LFN contamination, although
I don't think LFN entries would be created when a non-LFN
file is deleted, anyway.

Joe.
