Lets Get The Recycle Bin Back!

Deleting Your Recycle Bin...Oops...

I am sure everyone that has had a computer with Windows Vista on it has done it before. Right click on Recycle bin and click 'delete' instead of 'Empty Recycle Bin.' It is a fairly simple
mistake. I will show you a quick way to bring it back.

Here Are Two Ways To Get Your Recycle Bin Back:

First, Right click on the desktop, not on any icons just open desktop.

Then click on 'Personalize'

You should see a window that pops up, on the left hand side choose
'Change Desktop Icons'

Once you have that screen, simply click the check box next to recycle
bin and it will be displayed on your desktop!

-OR-

If you are having difficulties finding an empty spot on your desktop,
you can just as easily click on the start menu in the lower left hand
corner of your desktop.

On the right hand side click on 'Control Panel'

Once you have control panel open the rest is pretty much the same.

Click on the Personalization options.

Look at the top of the left hand menu, you should see 'Change desktop
Icons'

Just click there, then click on the box next to Recycle Bin.

Congratulations! You Did It!

Now you're all set, until it inevitably happens again!
