Windows 2000 Recycle Bin

[averagecdn]

I have a corrupted recycle bin and need to delete it so that I can allow it to be re-created.

I don't think you can delete it...at least not within the running OS. You could try booting to an alternative OS and then delete the "RECYCLER" folder in the root of the drive. You'll probably need something with NTFS access, unless your went with FAT32 when you installed Win2000.

Your best, and cheapest, bet is to compile and use BartPE. It takes some time, but it's worth it. You can find the program here:

And they have a great support forum here:

There is a WinPE forum here on MSFN, but it's not as good as the one I just listed. Good luck!
