Hoping someone can help me here.
I have Vista Home Premium and i noticed the other day that my recycle bin is missing.
Ive tried everything i can think of to get it back.
No idea how i lost it in the first place.:confused:

Any ideas on how to get it back would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    ok to get the recycle bin back for windows vista this is what to do click on control panel. then click personalization then on the left hand side you will see change desktop icons. click on that then put a tick in the recycle bin box. and click apply job done you will now see your recycle bin on your desktop

    Use the search function on vista, type recycle bin, it will be on the computer somewhere then when it finds it right click and send to desktop.

    What is? The Recycle Bin is there as default.

    The fact that I frequently (subconsciously) click delete instead of empty and then have to go and recover the damned thing.
