This is curious
and I've run Ad-Aware, Spybot and Grisoft AVG just to make sure.
I opened the Recycle Bin, and it physically shows 15 files...however, the file count says I have 85 files in the bin. So how come I can't see the other 70 files?
Ideas?

70 of em aren't owned by you?
Owned by something like System or similar.

Are they .dll and other hidden filetypes?
The first thing that I do on Windows is have it show me all filetypes. But the default is to hide several filetypes, which can lead to confusion exactly like you're seeing.

Get MS Antispyware.
It's actually good.

Ad-aware is compromised by $. See the twiki page.

Are any of them folders?
Could be items contained in a folder...

Don't know if it's related . . .
. . but VX2 aparently damges the recycle folder so some files don't show, and other programs might also. As I recall, the quick fix was to delete the desktop.ini file in the recycler folder (invisible, but it's there) then rebooting the computer.

Another option on by default is
to hide "system" files.

Show me everything
is turned on (old habit).
Tried to view the files in the Recycle bin under a DOS "dir" command - nothing shows.
I don't know what these files are, and I don't want to empty the Recycle Bin until I know what they are.

Yep - no change in the Recycle Bin display
I'm not going to empty that sucker until I get a handle on what's in there ands why I can't see them.

Norton Utilites used to have
low-level directory editor. Nowadays it's probably not available, what with NTFS and such. How about booting Knoppix (or whatever the botable CD du jour is good) and looking at it that way?

I find ZTree can see most stuff . .
. . including stuff Windows refuses to show. You can download ZTree Windows for free trial (its nag screen stays longer and longer as time goes by).

Email sent
now I'll sit back and wait for you to provide my salvation. Damn Recycle Bin has to be manually cleaned out to remove the visible detritus, but it says that the hidden stuff is still there.

There's another possibility
that is, that the recycle bin really has 15 files in it, and that in fact it's the counter that's wrong. For example, I can't help but notice that 85 is 15*7.
Worth exploring, at any rate. If it was warp, I'd just tell you to blow away the key in the ini file for the trash can, and let it rebuild it on next boot by actually looking at the file system, but that's not going to work here...

Was *going* to say ...
... that I've been able to help noticing that this whole time. I guess now I know why I've been able to help it.
Now I guess I'll say ... 42.
