  Um. just try typing it in twice?  The first time after the first character it goes back to recycle bin, but the second time it lets you type in whatever you want.  I am using XP SP1.  Besides.. I don't really see how this is a security issue, and in fact I think its rather silly J

  Secure Target Network (Security Advisory August 04, 2003) 
  Topic: Recycle Bin Unavailability of Service
  Discovery date: July 24, 2003

  Affected applications and platforms: 
  Windows XP Service Pack 1

  Not affected applications and platforms:
  Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 (and may others)

  Introduction: 
  I'm sure this is related to security issues because it gets in touch
  with availability. So, you may want to explore some places with your
  "Windows Explorer" or "My Computer" from else where. That's make no
  sense to you but ever doing exploring from "Recycle Bin" to anywhere
  else?
  You can't do this and this is a kind of Unavailability!
  When you clicked on "Recycle Bin" on any address bar, the word become
  highlighted and when you trying to type a path, the words and phrases
  you typed, turn to "Recycle Bin". This way, you cannot change
  MANUALLY to any desired location from "Recycle Bin".

  Exploit: 
  There's no exploit for this misbehavior but you would be aware of
  unavailability this situation brings to your desktop because some day
  may you have not any mouse.

  Workaround: 
  This involved with Windows XP GUI behavior and may fix in future but
  if you want workaround that, just copy and paste you desire path and
  press "ENTER" as fast as possible.

  Tested on: 
  Windows XP Service Pack 1
  Windows 2000 Service Pack 3
