How to Recover Recycle Bin on Windows 10 for Free.Find the Recycle Bin
Hi, Gary here, and I have been seeing a few more questions regarding the recycle bin on redirected folders. With the advent of Windows Vista there was a change in redirected folders and the support for the Recycle bin. Now each redirected folder has a Recycle Bin associated with it. Windows XP only implemented it for the My Documents folder. Unfortunately, the Administrative Templates only give control of the bin as a whole and not for each redirected folder. The global settings can be controlled by the following policies that work with at least Windows XP:.
Since there are no policies for the individual bins, we have to modify the registry settings for the user in other ways. Before you start: modifying these registry keys is officially unsupported.
They may stop working at any time after a service pack, hotfix, etc. That would be through the use of Group Policy Preferences Registry settings or script that would import or set the registry settings.
No matter which way you would do it, the registry would have the following settings for each known folder recycle bin:. The easy way to get the registry settings would be by redirecting the desired folders and configuring the Recycle bin for each folder as desired through the GUI with a user that is already redirected. That is by right-clicking on the Recycle Bin icon and bringing up Properties to configure the individual recycle bin settings of a user that has the folders already redirected.
The following picture is an example where just the Documents folder was redirected and configured to delete the files immediately. As other folders are redirected there will be other entries that show up there for each of the additional locations. Once you have the registry settings, you have the following options to push out the desired settings to the client machines:.
Export the KnownFolder key and then import with a logon script or other method to import the values. The advantage of this is that if you desire you can modify the settings and get pushed out and use the built in filtering to control specific settings application or value.
The NukeOnDelete value just tells Explorer that no additional files will be put in the recycle bin and will be deleted from the file system. Files and folders that are already in that bin will remain until it is emptied and the MaxCapacity essentially gets ignored at that time. That way the maximum size the recycle bin would be is 1 MB and the next time the user deletes a file it will be reduced to that size as well.
Also, from then on the recycle bin will honor the setting anyway. The Recycle Bin folder view is a merged view of all the locations into one view. When a file or folder is deleted, it is just moved and renamed on the same drive. No copying is involved. While we do not have a way to control the individual recycle bin folders through policy in box we can do it through the registry to get that out to multiple machines now for management.
