    It should be showing on your Desktop as an icon. Is it not?

    it may be in the bottom right hand corner of the screen - may be hard to spot if its "camouflaged" close to the colour of the background.

    Have you put your recycle bin in the recycle bin?!

    It's a laptop paradox!

    I think I had a similar problem once, download Tweak xp ( google it )
    This allows you too hide or REVEAL the reycle bin.

    Its a registry fix, some one might be able to tell you how to do it quicker but this way is safe and works!

    Are any icons there? If not right click the desktop and select Arange Icons By and make sure there's a tick next to Show Desktop Icons.

    If this is vista it's aknown hiccup. I had this happen to me. Just the recycle bin disappeared. There is a way to get it back - think you need to go into control panel. I'm sure someone on here will be able to help soon enough.

    Else google it. :)
