Answer 3

i am assuming you are talking about the recycle bin, the place that your deleted items go.

Below you will find three methods of restoring your Recycle Bin to your desktop:

Method #1:

   1. Right-click an empty area of your desktop

   2. Select Properties

   3. Click the Desktop tab

   4. Click the Customize button

   5. Click Restore Default

   6. Exit all windows and restart your computer

Method #2:

Note: Be sure to make a backup copy of your registry prior to making any changes.

Go to Start>> Run. Type in: regedit  [Enter]

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi...

Hold the mouse on NameSpace and right-click once. From the resulting menu, select Edit>> New>> Key

Copy and Paste the following Key code (including the brackets):

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Press Enter on your keyboard, exit the registry editor and restart your system.

on your hard drive there ought to be a file named "program files" it should be on there somewhere, if not right click go on properties and search for it on there..

In Vista - right click on desktop and select "personalize". Select "Change desktop items" (left hand column) and make sure recycle bin is ticked

Look through your hard drive

Answer 13

i've just tried it and I havne't the option to delete. Even when i hilight it and press the delete key. It's ppossible you have sent it somewhere else on your hard drive. press your windows button and click on "search" and input recycle bin. Should turn up. Otherwise you'll have to backup all your files and reinstall windows
