Windows
95 is a new operational
system with an easy interface based on the expanding windows
principle which uses icons to graphically represent files and their
types.
Windows
95 makes the way you and your computer interact easy. Most everyday
tasks are now easier to accomplish than ever before. For
example, the second mouse button has become a powerful weapon. The
old Windows 3.0 Program Manager and File Manager have been replaced.
The desktop tools that replace them are very like those found on a
Macintosh. For example, there is a Recycle Bin that makes it easier
to recover accidentally deleted files.
Your
computer probably will crash less running Windows 95 than it
did with Windows 3.1 and 3.0 or even DOS. Most memory related
problems have been removed. Built-in networking features make it
easy to reliably share files with co-workers across the room or
across the world. And MS-DOS as we know it is so well hidden that
you’ll rarely give it a thought. Yes, you can still run DOS programs
and older Windows applications but most users will probably
want to spend most of their time using Windows 95 applications
instead.
Microsoft
says that it is moving forward to the time when we’ll all think more
about our data and less about the specific name-brand programs used
to create them.
Window
95 plug-and-play capability makes it easy to upgrade your computer
hardware. And portable computer users will like what Microsoft
has done to make their lives calmer.
A
new Windows shortcuts capability makes it easy to reach frequently
used files and other necessities. A new Find feature helps you to
locate and examine the contents of files in a flash.
Most
of this is accomplished without sacrificing performance. In
fact, many things (like printing) usually happen faster now, due to
32-bit support and other Windows 95 advancements.

Summary
When you delete files in the Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95 operating systems graphical user interface, your files first go to the Recycle Bin so that they may be recovered. When deleting a large amount of files, this process may not be desirable because of the amount of time it takes to move them to the Recycle Bin and then empty the Recycle Bin, essentially deleting them twice. There is an easy way to bypass the Recycle Bin altogether.
NOTE: If you delete a file or folder from a resource that is not local (such as a network computer), the file or folder does not go to the Recycle Bin, the item is instantly deleted.
More Information
When deleting a folder or group of files:
-
Select the folder or group of files to be deleted.
-
Hold down the SHIFT key while pressing the DELETE key.
-or-
-
Open a command prompt window.
-
Use the MS-DOS command DEL to delete the folder or files.
NOTE: Be aware that after files are deleted in this manner, they cannot be undeleted or recovered.

By default, Microsoft Windows 95 and all subsequent versions use up to 10% of your computer’s available disk space to save the most recently deleted files. Its purpose is to allow users the ability to recover files that were accidentally deleted. As the Recycle Bin is filled up, older files are permanently removed from your hard drive to make space for newly deleted ones. The following sections contain information on using the Recycle Bin and its various functions.

- Missing Windows desktop Recycle Bin icon.
How to know if the Recycle Bin contains files
If any file is deleted in Windows, it’s automatically moved to the Recycle Bin. As seen in the image, a Recycle Bin containing deleted files appears as a full wastebasket with crumpled paper, and an empty one contains nothing. Also, when an empty Recycle Bin is accessed, the message «This folder is empty» is shown.
View deleted files
Users browse these files by double-clicking the Recycle Bin icon.
How to recover files sent to the Recycle Bin
- How to recover a deleted file from the Windows Recycle Bin.
Manage the Recycle Bin capacity
If you want to modify how much space Windows uses to store deleted files for all drives or independently, you can right-click the Recycle Bin icon and click Properties. In the Recycle Bin Properties window, you can adjust how much space the Recycle Bin takes by dragging the slider left or right, or by specifying the number of MB (megabytes). You can also completely disable the Recycle Bin feature.
When should I empty the Recycle Bin?
Emptying the Recycle Bin permanently deletes files from your hard drive. It’s recommended you empty it only when you’re sure you don’t need the files again.
Emptying the Recycle Bin
To empty the Recycle Bin, right-click the Recycle Bin icon and select Empty Recycle Bin from the drop-down menu.
