I accidentally deleted my Trash Bin off of my desktop how do I get it back?

Question

Pretty self explanatory question, I just need to know where I can find the trash bin so that I can bring the icon back to my desktop. I understand that I can delete files and icons without it, I just want to see it there.

Answer 1

Click Start and Choose Computer

At the Folders Tab in the sidebar, right click Recycle Bin at the bottom and choose copy. Then close that window and right click on your desktop and choose paste.

Answer 2

Depends on your operating system.

If it's Vista then the steps are as follows -  

1. Right click the Vista Desktop

2. Click on Personalize

3. Select: 'Change desktop icons'

4. At the Desktop Icon Settings, place a tick next to: 'Recycle Bin'.

With XP it goes like this

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

Answer 3

I did the exact same thing, and all I could do is go to the start menu, then search, and recycle bin. All I could find was a short cut. Hopefully you can find the original.
