    Restore Recycle Bin icon in Windows Vista / XP

    So you lost your Recycle Bin icon. Maybe you deleted it on purpose, or maybe you do not know how it disappeared. Assuming you did not turn off all your desktop icons (right-click your desktop, choose View from the menu, and choose Show Desktop Icons if it does not have a check next to it, which will turn them back on), it is easy to get back, so stop your sweating and follow these simple steps.
