I'd be happy to send you a small project that demonstrates the problem if you'd like to test it for yourself. Maybe it's a VirtualPC thing that a real Windows user wouldn't experience. That would be helpful to know.

According the the Language Reference, this should work (points to "\user\Desktop\Recycle Bin\". The only reason I can think of that it doesn't is if you have renamed the "Recycle Bin" or if there is an encoding issue with your user name (there have been reports of problems with user names with special characters such as "André").
