NEED TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM DELETING ECEL WORK BOOKS FROM TRASH BIN OR
PREVENT TRASH BIN DELETION

Sounds like you need a thick ruler to apply across a few knuckles? Or a
good, strong backu strategy for critical files, and/or a good file recovery
tool - you might look at tools like the free
http://www.pctools.com/file-recover/ File Recover from PC Tools, or others
that Google will no doubt turn up.

This is not an Excel problem, or even a Windows problem, it's a user
education problem (back to the ruler/knuckles option).

I don't even think it's a user problem.

As a user, I should be able to empty my recycle bin whenever I want without
having to worry about deleting something that I shouldn't.

But I do agree with JL, it is a user education problem in the sense that users
should make backups.

I think your IT staff (if you have one) has a responsibility to make nightly
backups of files stored on network drives (and backups of files on the local
drives, too).
