recycle bin empties too fast

[James Payette]

I deleted a couple of files that I later wanted to restore. After a couple of hours the recycle bin emptied everything in it. How do you reset the time it keeps files in the recycle bin so as to make them easy to restore?

That is not the default behavior of the recycle bin.
I suspect you have some third party software running, like Ccleaner or another such product that is doing that.
Check your installed programs as well as Task Scheduler to see what might be causing this issue.
