http://www.tweakxp.com/article141309.aspx) Explorer->and check "Disable Recycle Bin". But , be aware... when you delete a file it will not go to RecycleBeen but it will be lost forever*.Good Luck.
* EDIT (improve): The file is not lost forever - merely compressed placed in another area of your hard drive you cannot see or access. It can easily be recoved by cheap recovery software. See

Answer
C:\Recycler is one more Microsoft implementation to either guard a legitamate user from harming his or her system, or to collect data for a purpose known only to Microsoft. Microsoft already owns 95% of everything. Run Linux as an alternative operating system until a conflict results. Double boot your system to run both Windows 2000 and Linux. Windows 2000 allows you to keep all of your Microsoft software without paying the penalty of having your hardrive copied into the Microsoft database. You want freedom?
