jabu2oz Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I've just hooked up my external USB2 hard-drive, but whenever I "Empty The Recycle Bin", explorer freezes and I generally have to turn the computer off from the wall to restart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 So it works OK if you unplug the USB HD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabu2oz Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) Hi, yes it works when the External Drive isn't plugged in.Sonic: Is this deleting the Recycle bin "settings" or doing the equivalent of emptying it? One thing to add is I've partitioned the USB Drive (as well as the internal drive) giving me a hell of alot of drives in My Computer:Thats probably why its slowing down?
