To change the storage capacity of the Recycle Bin
On the desktop, right-click Recycle Bin, and then click Properties.
Move the slider to increase or decrease the amount of disk space that is reserved for storing deleted items.
Important: A deleted item that is larger than the storage capacity of the Recycle Bin will not be saved. It will be permanently deleted.
Notes
If you want to use different Recycle Bin settings for different drives, click Configure drives independently, and then click the appropriate drive tab to change the Recycle Bin settings for that drive.
If you want to use the same Recycle Bin settings for all drives, click Use one setting for all drives.

The default is 10% of each drive capacity. You can adjust this by right-clicking the Recycle Bin icon in your desktop and choosing properties. A dialog box will appear. Move the slider to your desired percentage and click apply then Ok. But I think 10 percent is enough.

As much space as you want it to. Right click on the recycling bin and click properties. Here, you can select the amount of space it uses as a percentage of the entire size of your hard drive. Or, if you wish, you can choose to have the computer delete files immediately.

Hi,
Size of recycle bin varies depeding on your settings. By default it is 10% of the disk size in Windows XP. You can change by Right Clicking on the Recycle bin -> Properties and choosing the settings.
Hope this helps
