Recycle Bin Automatically deletes

My Recycle Bin automatically deletes files without storing them in the bin first.  It's as if I have the box checked "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin.  Remove files immediatly when deleted".  But, i don't have this checked under the Bin's properties.  Any ideas on what i can do?

    on the Recycle Bin Properties, check if there is an alloted space to store the deleted files. when the files deleted are too big for the recycle bin, it's automatically deleted and not stored.

    hope this helps.

    Another thing to check,

    Recycle Bin / Properties

    Make sure that there is NOT a check in "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin" on the first page.

    No, belive me, the box is not checked.  I tried changing the recycle bin sizes.  The empty recycle bin option is greyed out, and everytime i want to delete something it just confirms that i want to delete the item instead of confirming removal to the bin.  Any registry changes i could use?

    Sorry,

    I tried the registry key on that website and it hasn't done a thing.
