Click the Desktop tab 4. Click the Customize button 5. Click Restore Default 6. Exit all windows and restart your computer Vista: Right click on the desktop and select personalize , then select change desktop icons and tick the box that says recycle bin finally click apply and presto it should be back where you left it.

Did he go into the add and remove thing and delete it? Or did he just go to the start up and delete it? This is confusing:ohwell: Link to comment
SpikedRocker Posted July 23, 2009 Content Count: 6242 Joined: 04/13/08 Status: Offline Share Posted July 23, 2009 The Recycle bin technically speaking works like a folder. When you delete files, instead of permanently deleting, which you might regret later, It just hordes them in there till you say clean recycle bin. A temparary fix, if you will, will to be to just create a new folder call it that and just move files into it that you no longer want to see. Probably right now if you delete stuff, its just removing it from your hard drive. I'm sure there's some way to probably change the temporary folder into an actual recycle bin but I'm not sure how to do that. This is just an optional solution to your problem. Link to comment
