Windows 2000 Recycle Bin in wrong location

I seem to have accidentally moved my Recycle Bin into a subfolder under
"My Documents", i.e. I see a folder called RECYCLER there which has a
subfolder called S-1-5-21-1292428093-1202660629-839522115-1000

If I delete the folder it is automatically recreated.

Where is its proper location?

Can I simply move it to its proper location or do I have to use a
special procedure?

It would appear that the Recycle Bin I was referring to is a *copy* of
the actual Windows Recycle Bin.

It seems to have been introduced when I started using the excellent
Visual Subst application (see
