Description
I would like to suggest that the Eraser context menu entries on the Recycle Bin are either greyed out or not visible when the Recycle Bin is empty. The default Windows behaviour is to grey out the 'Empty Recycle Bin' menu entry when there's nothing in the 'Bin'. This, I believe, would be a better default behaviour for Eraser as well.
Fantastic program. Been using it for years. Thankyou.

Unfortunately that's not possible. The Recycle bin context menu has entries added to a "helper" list, the context menu is not controlled by the Eraser Shell interop DLL. It's like a shortcut to the Eraser program, there's no way Eraser can disable that shortcut.
If you do have code which can interface with the Recycle bin context menu, please do share :)

Actually after writing the context menu extension for v6, this MAY be possible. I'll look at it now.
