Fix for a corrupt Recycle Bin

I have used the following alternative solution successfully in the past:-

1. Boot to a DOS prompt using the Windows ME Emergency Boot Disk.

2. Then delete the corrupt Recycle bin, by executing the following commands in the following order at the DOS prompt -

C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ATTRIB.EXE -S -H C:\RECYCLED
Deltree /y c:\recycled

3. Then restart the computer normally. Windows will recreate the Recycle bin during start-up.

This is based on http://www.tutorials-win.com/win98/Recycle-733981/
