Hi Scott,
One of the utilities in your system is probably doing it. For instance, certain versions of Zone Alarm have a cache cleaning features built-in, which when activated, would empty the recycle bin on every restart. Windows is not automatically doing this.

All the contents of my Recycle Bin disappear next time I use my PC.
I looked for an "automatically empty on start" option, if there is such a
thing, but did not see it.
Last thing I did on my PC was reformat the D hard drive, wiping it clean.
Maybe that emptied it, but since then, it will not hold any files.
Thanks in advance. Lots of good information on these boards.
Scott
