I had the same problem when running Execsoft Undelete on my XP Pro.
I finally managed to fix it by uninstalling Undelete, rebooting to
Safe mode, deleting the recycler-folders, and the trash icon on the
desktop, then did a regclean. After a reboot to normal mode, the os
asked me whether to recreate the trash icon/folder, whichI answered
yes to and that was it.
Initially I tried the xp powertoys to recreate the icon and folder,
in the hope this would fix the problem, but it didn't work.
HTH/YMMV.

up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints & how to
overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more servers.
