Your Questions About Recycling

Yes.

Is it possible to recover deleted recycle bin files?

The answer is YES! When you delete a file and then empty your recycle bin, many people think the file is permanently gone. Even the Windows help menu will tell you that “Deleting an item from the Recycle Bin permanently removes it from your computer.”

When a file is deleted from your computer, its contents aren’t immediately destroyed. Windows simply marks the hard drive space as being available for use by changing one character in the file table so that the file entry won’t be displayed in My Computer or a commandline DIR command, etc. If you manage to start an undeletion process before Windows uses that part of the hard drive to write a new file, all you have to do is set that flag back to “on” and you get the file.

The Expert answers:

The Recycle Bin is not a file object, it is a system object; it can’t be put into itself, but can (in some cases) be removed from the desktop. To get it back, click Start>Run, type “regedit”, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Explorer Desktop NameSpace. Right-click and select New>Key. (Be sure the key is created under NameSpace). Use the following for the name of the new key you created:
{645FF040- 5081- 101B- 9F08- 00AA002F954E}
(Remove the spaces after each dash). That should put the Recycle Bin back on the desktop; you may need to refresh the desktop by right-clicking on it and selecting Refresh.

If you are saying you deleted the desktop icon (as oposed to emptying the recycle bin) then you can get it back by going to personalise desktop

In Vista, right click, personalise, then click change desktop icons (right hand side of window) then tick the recycle bin.

In XP… Can’t remember! (it’s been a while) but it’s a similar process, right click the desktop, then something like personalise, customise or properties and it will be somewhere on there

If you were talking about having emptied the recycle bin then try searching on google for a program called recuva, it’s free and should be able to restore your files.

Hope that helps,
