Someone deleted their recycle bin from the desktop in Vista. How do I get it back?
When you right click on the desktop and go to Properties there should be a tab in there that allows you to bring it back. I know it's Properties > Desktop > Customize Desktop in XP, maybe they didn't change it too much in Vista. I do think it's still in that general menu in Vista, though.
There was also a bug that was around when Vista first came out that would make the icon disappear. I believe you fixed it the same way.
I found it. Right click desktop and go to personalize. On the left side it says: Change Desktop Icons.
Just right Click on your desktop and click on the change desktop icon. and select a recycle bin option marked.
