'Oh Crap! Oh Crap! Oh Crap! Recycle bin says are you sure you want to delete "windows". Help please!

I have XP pro.
I have had a problem with my MP3 player and had to reformat it.
There was a lot of corruption on it.
Since then my recycle bin says there is something in it but there is'nt
and when I go 'right click' 'empty recycle bin' i get a message saying do I want to delete
" Windows".
What the f__k is happening?
Please help.
Thanks

Might be worth trying ExplorerXP from http://www.explorerxp.com/ as it
