Windows – way to empty the recycler bin for all users in windows 2003

Third party applications like Undelete can do this - but I think Microsoft simply considers a file share as not really a document system. For storing, keeping version control over and handling important documents - something else is needed. Like the mentioned Sharepoint (though I can't say I enjoy the user experience of it) or some other of all the document management systems out there.

You could also check your backup solution and see if you can go to continuous backup instead of daily for the share. Most backup applications these days should have that at least as an add-on. That way, if supported on the server, all changes will be backed up as they occur, or with only a few minutes delay. This is a nice feature to aim at a disk backup system with a few days of history at most - while keeping nightly backups for longer as usual on tape or whatnot.

This is setup by default. You would need to make sure those users that should be allowed in are in the administrators or "remote desktop users" group to allow access. If they must be admins you can take out that group and specify only certain users.

Right click my computer, manage, click "remote" tab, click "enable remote desktop on this computer", click "select remote users"

I don't know a way to change the "you don't have access to term in" message.
