With all this talk about deleting files that should not be deleted... It is at least theortically possible to delete a required file and not know about it for days, weeks or even months... depending on what program uses it and how often you use the program. That begs the question... how long should you save the recycle bin before you empty it? A few days? A few weeks? a few months? It would probably be a better idea to archive the recycle bin... move all the files to a DVD or CD. Unfortunately, that is not an option in the context menu. Of course, backups achieve basically the same function, but imagine being able to right click on the recycle bin and select "Archive to:" in much the same way as you can "Send To:" in Windows Explorer. This would be extremely useful when you did not know the name of the file that needs to be restored and you have to use trial and error to find it. Or, if it was created and deleted between backups.
