Restore Recycle Bin icon on the Desktop
October 6th, 2009
Did you just delete the Recycle Bin icon on the Desktop?? Can’t go to the Recycle Bin to restore the Recycle Bin itself!!
In Windows Vista, you can bring it back by doing the following:
1. Right click on the empty space on the Desktop and click Personalize.
2. Select Change Desktop Icons.
3. Check Recycle Bin.
and you are done.
The steps for Windows XP are a little more technical and involve registry manipulations which is not recommended unless you are an advanced user. Luckily, Microsoft has a tool that can take care of it automatically.
