How do you stop Win95 from creating a 'Recycled' folder on drives you
don't want to use it on?

I have the Recycle Bin disabled on a couple of drives that I use for
storing large data files.  When I complete a job, I completely clear
these drives.  I can easily just delete the Recycled folder (with some
complaints from Win95), but given half a chance, it'll get
automatically recreated again later.

Is there any way to get rid of the recycled folder on selected drives?

	Though you may not be able to get rid of the Recycle Bin, you could use a
setting in RecBin Properties to configure each drive separately and disable
moving of the deleted files into the Recycle Bin for the drives where you
don't want it to happen.

Thanks, but I'm aware of that.  Win95 still creates a 'Recycled'
folder on drives with the Recycle Bin disabled.  It's an anoyance, as
there is no reason for it to be there at all.  

In fact it can be more than an anoyance.  If you open that folder, all
the files in recycled folders on any drives are listed.  This could be
confusing to the unprepared.
