RECYCLER folder into user's home folder?

Hi!

I would like to know for why we have this folder on almost all user's home
folder?

Does users can undelete files from their home folder, the RECYCLER folder
giving them the same functionnality as a local drive?

Thanks.

It's because you've got folder redirection enabled for your users' My
Documents data to their home directory.
I've stopped using home directories (I still use folder redirection) and
haven't had that show up since. If you have W2003 and volume shadow copy
enabled, that's the best way to go.
