recycle bin and system restore

I seem to have two possibly serious problems:

1. My recycle bin has just disappeared, and
2. I cannot use system restore. I have tried 5 different restore points but
after reboot windows will report nothing restored and the process failed.

Thanks for your help in advance.

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.

Hello caratuco,

1.
Righclick the display>personalization>change desktop icons, here you can
checkmark the recycle bin and it will be back.

2.
Did you create a backup before with Backup and Restore Center?

Best regards

As for the System Restore issue...sometimes
there are conflicts with other software...virus
scanners for example. The best bet is to run
System Restore from Safe Mode.
