Posted July 2, 200816 yr We use group policy to manage our user environment of around 2000 users. Users have roaming profiles with folder redirection applied to the the "documents" folder which points it to the users personal network directory path as follows - \\domain\unc\path\user\documents. As the documents folder has folder redirection applied Vista creates a "Recycle Bin" in the network folder. When a user deletes a file from their network "Documents" folder, Vista moves it into the recycle bin and changes the icon to show that there are files in the bin. However, if you open the "Recycle Bin" by double-clicking no files are displayed. When a user opts to empty the recycle bin Vista asks whether you want to delete X items, indicating that the files are indeed there. Furthemore, using the cmd line to get a file listing of the recycle bin it does indeed show the files. Why are these files being hidden from display??? Any help very much appreciated... I've tried turning off all group policies apart from folder redirection - I've also elevated permissions on the documents folder as well as the local C:\Recycle.Bin $ folder - all to no avail!
