Question : Auto Empty Recycle Bin?

I would like to have the recycle bin in Win 95 automatically emptied each time I reboot or shut off my machine. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how would I go about doing it?
Thanks

Answer : Auto Empty Recycle Bin?

Yeah, it is possible, and simple:

run notepad
open c:\autoexec.bat

(if there is no c:\autoexec.bat, then make one with the following line:)

add "del c:\recycled\*.*" without the quotes.
save autoexec.bat (if it didn't exist in the first place, then save is as autoexec.bat)

NOTE: if you had to create autoexec.bat, sometimes notepad puts the .txt extension at the end of all files.  Opoen windows explorer, and make sure you have "autoexec.bat" in there.  If you have "autoexec.bat.txt", rename it to "autoexec.bat".  Windows 95 by itself does not require autoexec.bat, but most computers have one.

Every time you reboot, your recycle bin will empty.

BTW, to get rid of everything on the 'documents' menu, add:
"move c:\recent\*.* c:\recycled" without the quotes.  The 'recent' files are just links, and they will be automatically deleted by the recycle bin.  They won't even go there.
