quick computer question

[supershigirl]

i just deleted a bunch of files off my "f" drive on my computer.....but i can't find the recycle bin to empty that....does anyone know how to find it if it's not an icon on your desktop???

What operating system are you using? On al version of Windows (except for XP) you should be able to go into windows explorer and click on drive F. Once in drive F, there should be a bunch of subfolders inclucing a recycle bin. Or maybe my brain just farted.

windows 98...but when i click on drive f, there is no recycle bin. i'm just wondering where all the files went when i deleted them??? not a huge deal, since i quit already.....but i did have some personal stuff on there.

Is is a LAN drive or a drive within the PC? If it was on the LAN, you cannot access it.

yeah, i don't have access to the recycle bin on the shared drive (S) at my work. does your individual computer have an additional drive installed? in windows, your computer's standard drive is "C."

if your F drive is a network shared folder/drive, you cannot undelete unless your company use third party software...otherwise, you will need to ask network administrator or backup operator to restore whatever you deleted off the backup tape...

crap....it is a shared folder. oh well, at least i'm no longer an employee as of 1 hour and 20 min from now.
