Don't worry, many of us have done it! Why MS added "delete" to the
right-click list for the recycle bin is anyone's guess; it's far too easy to
accidentally click it when you are in a hurry!

Yes it is! The ability to delete the recycle bin icon from the desktop
is an added feature of Vista.
Obviously, one needs to know what they're doing...oh!...I see it's
capin' crunch, the self appointed Vista hater.
Translation: this idiot is too stupid to figure out
Vista...hahaha...just wait till he sees W7!!!...LOL!

hehehe...so you too stupid to read the right click menu where it says
"empty recycle bin vs delete" huh?
Figures, your mouth is much faster than your tiny little brain!
Well, I must say this old monkey is much smarter than you...whatever in
the world you are!
I do know one thing for sure, you're a real loser!...LOL!

I don't throw insults around at anyone. Neither should you.

You have no idea who I support. And I know you have no factual evidence
to support your "hundreds of thousands"...claim.
Get some help cause you are obviously sick in your little head.
