What recycle bin?

The Expert answers:

Vista or XP?
In Vista
1. Go to Control Panel,
2. Open Personalisation,
3. In the Tasks list on the top left select Desktop Icon settings
4. Tick the box and the Recycle bin will be replaced on the desktop.
Did you click delete instead of empty? You are not alone I do this all the time, you select delete to dump the stuff in the bin then open the bin and there is an option to delete there also, you click it and oops the Recycle bin icon is gone!

In XP the simple solution is to turn on the Show Desktop Icons feature:
Right-click the desktop.
Point to Arrange Icons By.
Click Show Desktop Icons.

In XP there is much more difficult option and requires you to edit the registry, only do this if you are confident in what you are doing, editing the registry can have severe consequences if you get it wrong or delete things you should leave alone.
To edit the registry to make the Recycle Bin icon reappear on the desktop, follow these steps:
1.Click Start, and then click Run.
2.In the box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3.In the Registry Editor find the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerDesktopNameSpace
4.Right-click the registry key found in step 3, point to New, and then click Key.
5.Type {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}, press ENTER.
6.Click the new {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} key that you created in number 5.
7.In the right pane, double-click the (Default) entry.
8.In the Edit String dialogue box, type Recycle Bin in the Value data box, and then click OK.
9.Quit Registry Editor.
The Recycle Bin should return to the desktop

The Expert answers:

The most likely reason is that you accidentally deleted the icon (not the recycle bin itself) from your desktop. Try this to put it back there.

For Vista (and maybe W7):

1.Right-click on the desktop and select Personalize.
2.Click the Change Desktop Icons entry in the left pane.
3.Check the Recycle Bin checkbox.
4.Click OK.

That should do it for Vista. With Windows XP:

There may be a more direct way, but here’s the only one I know of:

1.Download and install a freebie from Microsoft called TweakUI (see below for the URL). Install it on the desktop. It happens to be a nice tool, by the way.
2.Run it.
3.Click the Desktop entry on the left.
4.On the right, a series of check boxes for desktop icons should appear. The Recycle Bin should be one of them. Click it.
5.Click OK.

That should do it for XP.

Hope that helps.

The Expert answers:

One has to admit that we have all deleted the recycle bin in Windows Vista at one time or another. Usually we have been in such a hurry to empty the recycle bin that, instead of Right clicking and selecting the ’empty recycle bin’ option, we have, inadvertently, selected the Delete option instead.

After the deed has been done there is a few seconds of shock horror followed, usually, by a few unprintable expletives and then panic instills as we wonder how on Earth we are going to replace the deleted recycle bin icon.

Panic won’t solve the problem, but these simple steps will.

1/ Right click on your desktop and, from the drop down menu, Click on the Personalize option.

2/ When the Personalize window opens, Look in the left hand task pane and Click on the Change Desktop Icons link.

3/ The desktop Icon Setting window will now open.

4/ Under the section marked Desktop Icons you will see a list of Icons that can be placed on the desktop.

5/ One of those Icons listed in this section will be Recycle Bin.

6/ Place a Check Mark in the box to the Left of the Recycle Bin option and then Press OK.

7/ The recycle Bin should now be sitting once more on your desktop.

The Expert answers:

The problem here is that the recycle bin still uses hard drive space. When you try to move a song back to iTunes the song is duplicated (one in iTunes and one in recycle bin). You’re going to have to start off small. Move only a couple songs or albums at a time and then delete them from the recycle bin as you go. Do this until you can move more and more.

The Expert answers:

The ‘Delete’ option when right-clicking the Recycle Bin is new, giving you the option of removing the shortcut from your desktop easily. To restore it you can go Start->Control Panel->Appearance and Personalization->Personalization and then click “change desktop icons” from the left-hand column. From there just check Recycle Bin and click OK.

As for other thing appearing and disappearing, are you using some kind of registry cleaner or optimizer? Some of these things can cause a lot of problems if it flags and removes critical system files

The Expert answers:

Right-click on your desktop and select Personalize. In the left side of the window, select “Change desktop icons.” Check Recycle Bin. Click Apply>>OK. Your Recycle Bin icon will return!

It should show when it contains items or is empty. If it doesn’t, right-click the desktop and select Personalize. Click “Change desktop icons.” Select “Recycle Bin (full) and click Restore Default. Do the same again for “Recycle Bin (empty). Click Apply>>OK.
