FireGeier Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) I'm using RC1 of Vista (Build 5600) and want to change the global settings for the Recycle Bin. I can change the size per user for the moment but I can not edit the global size.I'm using the Administrator account. I've read on this page that there is a Global button, if you open the Recycle Bin porperties. This button does not appear. Is this a problem of the build or is anybody able to change these settings global?Thanks,Martin Edited October 10, 2006 by FireGeier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxamime Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I am waiting for an email regarding this very thing from one of the project managers at Microsoft. Currently there is not a true Global setting but they may be adding one per my request.Once I receive the response from him I will post it here.

paxamime Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I am waiting for an email regarding this very thing from one of the project managers at Microsoft. Currently there is not a true Global setting but they may be adding one per my request.Once I receive the response from him I will post it here.Ok so far the response from MS has been that they never thought of the reasoning for a limitation like I have requested. After listening to my theories they have agreed that it is necessary for a true global setting that limits the computers max Recycle Bin size. They are only a couple days away from Release To Manufacture and it will probably not make the final cut. It will probably end up being added in a service pack or other critical update.When I get word back from MS regarding its final status I will post it here.

Spooky Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 That article is for a build that was pre-RC1 in which there was a global button, however, it was removed in later builds. Look at the date on the article - 7/6/06 which was pre-RC1.I'm using RC1 of Vista (Build 5600) and want to change the global settings for the Recycle Bin. I can change the size per user for the moment but I can not edit the global size.I'm using the Administrator account.
