-=PCTechTalk=- Recycle bin

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.
