SYMPTOMS
========
When you are copying a file over the network to a directory containing a file
with the same name, if the file transfer process is canceled or fails, the file
being replaced is deleted.
This behavior also occurs when you are using Dial-Up Networking.
CAUSE
=====
During the file transfer process, the destination file (the file that is to be
replaced) is deleted after you confirm that you want to replace a file. If the
file transfer process is canceled or fails, the deleted destination file cannot
be restored. The file is not moved to the Recycle Bin and cannot be recovered.
RESOLUTION
==========
If the file transfer process is canceled or fails, repeat the transfer.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Recycle Bin tracks only files deleted locally using Windows Explorer, My
Computer, or a Windows 95-compatible shell program.
A file that is deleted as part of a file transfer process between two computers
is not moved to the Recycle Bin.
