Recycle Bin Problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I have an XP SP2 system and am current with all security updates. My
problem is that in the last week or so when I click on my Recyle Bin I can't
see the contents. When I go to empty it, it will tell me that I have x
items in it, but they don't display. I therefore have no restore
functionality.

Any input is very appreciated.

I have tried that link. I am still having the same problem.
Any other advice?

I've tried running this several times and I am still getting the same
problem. Zero files showing when I open the Recycle Bin and when I click to
Empty it says that I have 80 files to erase.

Is there a way to reset it through the registry?
