My recycle bin has 49 items in it when I press (emty recycle bin)
nothing is showing in the list and it sais that there are no
listings in the recycle bin. When deleting anything it always
asks "are you sure you want to delete?" I press yes but no
showings in the recycle bin..
I searched the news groups but was unable to find an aswer.
I am running windows ME.
I do not know when this problem started so doing system restore I
don't know how far to go back.

Try resetting the Recycle bins.
Bootup using the "Windows Startup Disk"
At the DOS prompt,
type the following lines,
and press <enter> after each.

ATTRIB -S -H -R C:\RECYCLED
DELTREE /Y C:\RECYCLED

If you have other fixed drives and your Recycle Bins are not combined,
then do the same for them also,
such as:

ATTRIB -S -H -R D:\RECYCLED
DELTREE /Y D:\RECYCLED

To reboot,
remove the floppy disk,
and press Ctrl+Alt+Del
