Every time I right click to "Empty Recycle Bin" and get the "Are you sure..." and push "OK" I get a short tone (low beep). It only happens for this operation. It just started a week ago, no new programs were added. No settings were changed. Scans and sweeps were done to no avail. What is it and how do I stop it? Or should I?

check your sound scheme. Someone might have decided Halloween was a good time for practical jokes and changed the sound on empty trash can from the classic crinkle paper sound to beep beep.

As answer #1 said (but did not ask) does it delete the files in the recycle bin ? If so sound scheme was changed, if not you have something interferring with deleting the files (Norton comes to mind, can be a pain if you do not have the password).

Not enough info to give you the "BEST" answer, sorry !
