Windows trash is acting strangely at startup..

[unko]

Hello, i often notice when i boot my main pc that the trash is acting up "preparing to delete files"; i can make sure it's not ccleaner : i did a scan right after that and there were many thing to clean.

I looked over msconfig, startup folder.. But i see nothing wrong/suspicious. I have antivir, i don't think that's it. I also have Eraser, but no reason i'd do that...

We need system specs filled in completely including your security programs.

This tutorial by Brink should be helpful.

Also in your next post could you list all the Cleanup, Tuneup, Speedup programs you use.

Hello, thanks for the quick reply. I don't mind giving my system specs (actually it's the less personal information you can be asked on a computer related board..) BUT i'd expected you to ask hijackthis report; what do the system specs have to do with such software issue? Nothing, i'm certain.

HijackThis! is outdated ... especially for Windows 7 64bit. It cannot report the problem you're asking for help with.

 

[unko]

Sure it's outdated.. But you know the name of the current, isn't it?

 

[Jacee]

Huh?

 

[Layback Bear]

Unko you ask for help and then you won't help us help you.

Then you give some goof post about a security program to one of the best security experts out there in the computer world.

Are you sure you are posting on the right forum?

I apologize then. But would you mind then teaching a little to the unko donkey? Just wanna know how system specs relate to my issue.. Sincerely..

The specs are useful for a lot of reasons, for example apps that may conflict, apps that do more harm than good etc. What one user think is a good setup another user might see problems with.

Are you talking about the Recycle bin? Here's an old issue about a corrupt Recycle bin that might help:

First of all, system specs are useful, it lets us know what you have, I find it hard to believe that you've posted 181 posts and no one has asked you before for system specs, secondly, it relates to your issue greatly, it would allow us to see which version of windows you are running.

If you were running windows 7 ultimate, that comes with bit-locker encryption which maybe interfering with start-up, it would tell us your antivirus and what that could be doing to your system(we've dealt with antivirus that are problematic), your motherboard manufacturer might have released a BIOS update which fixes your issue (which is software, but we don't know your hardware to determine that), so there are many advantages to updating your system specs in the link provided, one would be that instead of asking you for them, we can just click on your system specs and this whole issue could have been avoided.

I try my best to stay out when it clearly is not my business but I simply have to say this: I cannot understand the logics, an OP rather argues the importance of information asked from him than provides it.

Of course I can only talk about myself but if I had an issue I really do not know the answer and decide to ask help on a tech site, I would provide all additional information asked from me, be it the model of my MoBo or my sister's shoe size.

Is there anything in your recycle bin ? Have you tried to empty it ?

Your problem can potentially have many reasons.

The first one I can think of is a recycle bin folder which is past its maximum allocated size and each time Windows starts up it tries to erase the oldest files. But there's a problem and it cannot: maybe the system doesn't have the permission to erase it, the recycle bin folder is nested in other folders and its pathname is too long, the file is inaccessible, the folder is corrupted, etc...

So you should try to locate the recycle bin folder on each drive and try to empty it manually, then report the results.
