This works on my W98Se but don't know about any other system due to the DOS availibility.

deltree C:\recycled in dos.

Even though your recycle bin shows empty it truly isn't as you can see from my before and after images.

This was done with my RB showing empty.

I have norton Protect and I can't see the properties tabs like you do but I did right click the C:\recycled and it is 65 bytes. Has one file in it that I could not see from windows or Windows Explorer. But from ACDsee viewer I could see the file and it is " Nprotect" type "file folder" but I can't see the file size but it most be 65 bytes.

Got to love the ACDsee viewer because I have seen files on my PC that I can't see any other way.

Hello Deke,

Being a DOS novice would you please confirm exactly what is typed in at the A:\>

And Hewee I found the ACDsee Viewer site but am unsure which, if any, of the freeware viewers will do what yours does. Could you give details? Please.

Thank to both of you.

Well the ACDSee™ Classic version 2.41 is what I have. Don't know if it is the same version or not but it does say "software still rates 5 out of 5 dots on Yippee's shareware download site." so if it is the same then it has ony the nag to upgrade to a paid version. It ill keep count of how many images you have viewed and it pops up now and then and tells you. Not to bad because I ran it for over 5 years with nag.

So there is no freeware but shareware.

He hee I got a old CD someplace I need to find that has the first ACDSee and it worked great because that was the first time I installed it. But I think the cost to get the shareware was $10.00 with free upgrades for life. But they have come a long wy after that.

Hello hewee,

I appreciate the way you share your long experience.

I took a look at the shareware version and thought, well the freeware one is also called ACDsee Classic:

and I will start with it.

Thanks, hewee.

Hummm it say free but means share!! No matter - if I can use it a nag or a 100 won't matter.

Deltree /y c:\Recycled

You will have to change the drive letter if yours is located in A:\.

Also you can leave out the /y if you want the final say to delete RB.

Hello Deke,

In WinMe and after restarting with an EBD inserted:

At the A:\>deltree c:\recycled which resulted in the y/n option

and again restart with the EBD inserted:

At the A:\>deltree /y c:\recycled and no option since the y is already in the command line.

Thanks for responding, Deke, and thanks for the tip.

The nag is not bad at all so it is ok. The ACDsee Classic is faster so most people like it the best. Newer version have other junk that make it more then just a viewer and it supports more formants but most is still things you don't need. You will like it.

I run xp home and can only find the command prompt, is there a dos function in xp?

Sorry I never clicked on your link. This a older version so many it is free and without a nag. Anyhow it will work just as good.

XP doesn't have a true DOS. Here is a link that explains it pretty good.

Deke, thanks for the tip..

The first time I tried it by using a boot disk to get into True DOS and entered the command at the A:\> and it worked.

Then I tried the MS-DOS Prompt in Windows ME and entered the command at the C:\Windows> and it also worked. By using the MS-DOS Prompt in Windows ME, are you getting the true benefits of this command?

Good question, Joe.
