Here's a good one, No recycle bin on desktop?

We had power outages yesterday (over 9" of rain in 10 hours) so I shut
everything down and went to bed. Started up this morning and no recycle bin
on the desktop. I looked in the control panel, don't see a way to reactivate
it - Help appreciated - IM

Don't worry it's still around, only hidden. Right-click an empty space on
your desktop and select Personalize, then select Change Desktop Icons at far
upper left. Check the Recycle Bin item.

I was doing something the other day and noticed the recycle bin was
missing. It turned out that it was hidden under another icon. Didn't
know you could do that.

Right-click on the Desktop, click Personalize, and in the left pane, click

The Hide/Unhide reg files are very useful, thanks Andre.
