Where's my Recycle Bin?

I just noticed it is not on my desktop. I tried some undo's with no
luck, so I checked in the $Recycle folder just in case, but is wasn't
there.

How do I recover the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop?

Thanks, Bill

Right-click on the desktop - Personalize - Change Desktop icons

hello.. right click on an empty space on the desktop, and select personalize

then on the left pane you will see a "desktop icons" link.. press that,

and you will see a window with checkmarks and icons...

place a checkmark on recycle bin



tell me if this helps

That was an easy fix, thanks Dave and Corbomite! FWIW, I have no idea
how I lost the recycle bin as I had not accessed the desktop icons
link, but at least I know how to resolve the problem next time it
happens!

Probably you clicked "Delete" in the right-click menu for the Recycle
Bin. If you wish to avoid that particular problem in the future, Ramesh
Srinivasan offers an excellent solution here:
