    Recycle Bin Context Menu Glitch


    Hello, so this happens on rare occasions, from time to time. It really doesn't bother me, yet it just looks strange.

    When I right click on the Recycle Bin, an extra context menu entry shows up: Paste

    Nothing happens when I click on Paste. It's weird.


    .... Okay I just minimized this window and tried right clicking on the Recycle Bin again, yet now it's no longer there. But fortunately for me, I was able to take a screen shot before it disappeared.

    Has anyone experienced this?

    Strange... so it seems to be a bug in Windows, because it doesn't make sense to Paste something into the Recycle Bin.
    What happens when you press Paste?

    I see. I wanted to see if I was the only one experiencing that. I guess it happens to other people, like you, as well. Hopefully some Microsoft programmer stumbles upon this post and fixes this little bug.

    I only see it if a file has been cut to the Clipboard --- which makes sense.

    Paste only shows up if there is something in the Clipboard to Paste into a file or the Recycle Bin

    I see. I just tried cutting a file, and right clicked on the Recycle Bin.
    Yes; Paste shows up as an entry. Okay, that makes sense, in a way. It's just strange to paste a file into the Recycle Bin; I'm only familiar with deleting a file to go to the Recycle Bin. It's just a new "term" in its own way.

    I guess the reason why I saw it as a "bug" is because I'm not familiar with context menu entries being present and disappearing; usually a context menu item is clickable, or it's grayed out.



    Okay it all makes sense now: Paste (move) a file into the Recycle Bin.
