DOCUMENT:Q247270 08-MAY-2002 [winnt] TITLE :Recycle Bin Displays Incorrect Size for Disks Larger Than 4GB PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER::4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbdisplay kbenv kbWinNT400PreSP7Fix ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== If you view the size of the Recycle Bin on a logical disk which is larger than 4 gigabytes (GB), you see the wrong size displayed for the Recycle Bin.
