It's late and I was in a hurry and deleted the recycle bin from my desktop
instead of emptying it. Can anyone tell me how to get it back?

Thanks

Right-click on the Desktop, click Personalize, and in the left pane, click Change desktop icons. In the Desktop Icon Settings dialog, enable the Recycle Bin checkbox. Click OK. See also:

I've seen a lot of "help, I've deleted my Recycle Bin!" type posts.

I know you can import the registry file yourself from some of the links
offered by people, but I have an "all in one" tweaker type of program for
Vista that can make some tweaks pretty easy.

you can grab the Vista version here:
http://xenomorph.net/xdntweaker/

it has a button that changes the "Delete" function on the Recycle Bin to a
"Search..." function.

Applying a REG file is even more easier, Xenomorph.
