SYMPTOMS
On a Windows NT-based computer with at least two disk volumes, opening Recycle Bin may take several seconds if access to one or more of the disk volumes has been locked using a third-party service.



CAUSE
When Recycle Bin is opened, it attempts to open the current user's Recycler folder on each available volume. A problem with the Windows NT shell causes it to pause and retry the open operation several times if access to the volumes is denied. This can lead to a delay of several seconds.
