I just upgraded my wife's PC from Vista Premium to 7 Premium. We both have our documents on a mapped drive on a 2003 server (Active Directory). She went to delete some files and could not. When she does, it asks if she's sure she wants to send this file to the recycle bin (?), if you answer yes, it says she has to give herself permission to do this! In the recycle bin properties, it shows the mapped drive and allocates space to it. Normally, from what i read, sending network drive files to the recycle bin doesn't happen. My machine is setup the same way as far as mapped drives and libraries, but mine is a clean install. How can I remove the mapped drive from her recycle bin? As a work-around, I've set that one drive to not recycle, but to delete right away. It still asks if you're sure, but does actually delete the file. It's treating the mapped drive just like a real drive.

Undesireable behaviour is very common in 'upgraded' systems and usually the only way to resolve the undesireable behaviour is to do a clean install of Windows 7.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Yeah, I know what I should have done, but getting everything back the way it was is PITA. And if it isn't just right I'll have to hear about it. I do find the behavior interesting though.

Microsoft tries to accomodate the upgrade path, but I found out when Windows 95 came out the 'upgrade' path was not optimal in any sense of the word. If one 'upgraded' from Windows 3.xx to Win 95 you were stuck in the 16-bit mode. If you wanted a 32-bit system you had to do a clean install. So, I have never done an 'upgrade' since. I always do a clean install of a new version of Windows. Upgrades leave too much residue behind that can, and do, cause problems.
