USB 'Recycle bin' possible?

Options
There are often threads on here where people lose data from their memory sticks,
it just happened to me, see this post

The big problem is that files deleted from a USB memory stick are not put into the Recycle bin.
I know that deleted files can still be recovered, with luck, but it would be easier and more user-friendly to have a Recycle bin.

Can anyone recommend a solution for Windows 7 they've tried?

    Thanks for that, i tried a few other modifications, such as flipping the 'Removable Media Bit', lol, but to no effect.

    This app works just like the Recycle bin, just put the exe file in the root of the flash drive and needs to be run manually.
    When running it adds an icon to the System tray.

    But there is one slight problem, if you unplug the flash drive, then plug it back in, iBin needs to be restarted in some way, since Autorun doesn’t work for USB on Windows 7.

    But that's not really a fault of iBin, just the way Windows7 is designed to work.
    It gives an extra layer of protection so i will add this to my drives, Thanks again..
