if you have quickclean
the shredder in QuickClean only partially works with the NTFS file system. For most Windows XP and Windows 2000 users, this means limited file shredding abilities. What shredder cannot do on a NTFS system is shred files in the Recycle Bin or shred empty space on the hard drive. On a system with FAT full functionality is available.
What is not made so clear is that to remove the irritating screen that pops up in the Recycle Bin as you delete files requires a registry edit for the NTFS file system. The good news is that this correction is not that difficult. Even though it does require making a change to the very sensitive Windows registry, this is one alteration that anyone can make. Just follow the easy to follow step by step guide, and your Recycle Bin will be back to normal. For those using FAT32 this step is not needed. For those that have migrated to NTFS, check out support immediately at: http://www.mcafeehelp.com/ for details on how to alter the registry
Just found this as well

TO get the info on regedit you have to phone them up
Hope this helps Nick
