Although you can specify the space allocation on a per-drive basis, if you click on the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop, it shows all deleted files across all drives. As I'm moving to a separation of program (C:) and data (D:) files, I'd like to have separate Recycle Bins to match. I've Googled, but can't find an answer (though many mistakenly think that the per-drive space allocation also means independent bins - it doesn't).

At the same time, I have 'undo' in the Windows Explorer toolbar which makes it easy to retrieve a just-deleted file. The truth is that I rarely use it. As usual, much depends on the habits of an individual user. FWIW, I agree. At the same time, I have ‘undo’ in the Windows Explorer toolbar which makes it easy to retrieve a just-deleted file.

Of course, even after clicking delete, one can restore the file from the bin. Hi Bill,
