Solved: Remove Norton Recycle and restore Windows recycle
I'm not sure this is the right forum for this.

My friend has Windows XP Home Edition. He uses Comcast cable. He previously has Norton Anti-Virus. When he found out that McAfee was free with Comcast, he decided to switch. We got McAfee installed and thought we had removed Norton, but we see that the Desktop shows he has the Norton Recycle Bin and does not have the Windows Recycle Bin. And when he deletes a file, it doesn't go to the Norton Recycle Bin.

What is the easiest way to remove the Norton Recycle Bin and restore the Windows Recycle Bin?

Thank you.

Norton Protected Recycle Bin Removal

If it still doesn't work, try the Norton Removal Tool to get rid of everything related to Norton.

If after doing all of the above, your original recycle bin doesn't show up, save this reg file to your desktop. Then, double click on it to merge it to your registry. It's an automatic process. You may have to reboot to see the change.
