After a hard disk crash I re-installed my XP system, onto an almost new hard 
drive that had been used on a Vista machine.
Now whenever I run a scan of AVG or SuperAntiSpyware. most of the scanning 
time is used scanning thousands of files that begin \$RECYCLEBIN........
The very helpful support staff at SuperAntiSpyware tell me that these files 
are hidden Vista files, not accessible by XP even if XP options are set to 
display XP hidden files.
So, I can't get rid of them, or look at them because XP hasn't the 
permissions to look at Vista hidden files.
We even tried accessing them from a Vista machine via the local network, but 
to no avail. Any suggestions?
Could I access these files using Puppy, or some other distro of Linux?
