recycle bin

I recently removed norton systemworks and now our recycle bin has no
name (the icon appears on the desktop but has no name). Was wondering
how to give it back its name.

Thanks.

See if you can delete the unnamed bin, then
reboot. Win98 should then make you a new
(empty) Recycled Bin.

You may have to do it in dos mode (not a dos window). Remove the
attributes, then delete the folder.
May remain unnamed recycle bin when rebooting windows. If so, post back.

Try Tweak UI, Desktop tab, right click the Recycle Bin and select rename.
Tweak UI is available from:
http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstati.../NTTweakUI.asp

Right-click the TweakUI .inf file and select install. Should a notice
appear saying a disk is required, click OK and another screen appears. Click
browse, go to the folder containing Tweak and click OK and OK.

I removed the hidden and system attributes, deleted the hidden files in
the directories (on the c: and d: drives) in dos mode, but when I tried
to delete the "recycled" directories, I got the message "invalid path,
not a directory, or directory not empty". "Attrib" shows that there are
no files in the "recycled" directory as does "dir"..

Directories also have attributes which can make them a pain to delete
using DOS delete methods. Enter deltree command which doesn't care
about attributes. And when invoked as in the example below, will wipe
out all the files and the directory itself - just what the doctor
ordered?

deltree C:\recycled
deltree D:\recycled
deltree E:\recycled
etc., ...
