3. Click the Desktop tab

4. Click the Customize button

5. Click Restore Default

6. Exit all windows and restart your computer

Vista:

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'.

Answer 2

Right click on desktop, choose personalize

Select change desktop icons on left

Check the box for the recycle bin

Instead of freaking out, check Yahoo! Answers.  This gets asked almost every day.

Answer 3

Go to your desktop and right-click, and then select Personalize.  On the Personalize menu, click "Change Desktop Icons" (this should be on the left).  Now on the check-boxes select "Recycle Bin" and click "OK."  Your recycle bin should now be restored.

Hope this helps!
