How do I restore my recycle bin to desktop on Windows 98?
Recycle bin accidentally deleted from desktop. Actually, I didn’t do it. My friend did, and I don’t know what to tell her since I haven’t used Windows 98 in about 8 or so years. Anybody have any idea?
The Expert answers:
Click Start -> Run, type regedit then press Enter. The following is from Microsoft Support.
“It’s rare, but not unheard of for the Recycle Bin icon to disappear. In Regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft WindowsCurrentVersionExplorerDesktopNameSpace. In the left-hand pane, right-click the NameSpace key and select New, Key. Type the following, exactly, (all on one line with no spaces): {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} and press [Return]. In the right-hand pane, right-click on (Default) and select Modify. In the Edit String dialog, in Value data type Recycle Bin, click OK then close Regedit. Click the desktop and press [F5] to refresh it.”

How do i get a recycle bin in both hard rives on my laptop?
On my secondary hard rive each time i delete something it doesn’t go to the recycle bin.
The Expert answers:
Recycle Bin properties can be set for the whole system as a whole or for drives independently.
It sounds like you have the drives set to independent settings.
Right click on the recycle bin and select properties.
You can make changes to this setup in here.
If you have it set independently you can make changes on the individual drive tabs. It’s a good bet your secondary drive has the “Do not move files to the recycle bin” option selected.
If you want everything to go to the same recycle bin and have a setting that works for both the same, select “Use one setting for all drives”.

Mark asks…
How do I retrieve files deleted from my recycle bin?
I’ve accidentally deleted my entire iTunes library’s music. I know most files end up in the recycle bin, but weirdly they’ve bypassed my recycle bin and ended up in oblivion.
So does anyone know any free software that I can use to retrieve my files?
