82. Accidentally Deleted Recycle Bin Icon
One has to admit that we have all deleted the
recycle bin in Windows Vista at one time or another.
usually we have been in such a hurry to empty the
recycle bin that, instead of Right clicking and
selecting the 'empty recycle bin' option, we have,
inadvertently, selected the Delete option instead.
After the deed has been done there is a few
seconds of shock horror followed, usually, by a few
unprintable expletives and then panic instills as we
wonder how on Earth we are going to replace the
deleted recycle bin icon.
Panic won't solve the problem, but these simple
steps will.
1/ Right click on your
desktop and, from the drop down
menu, Click on the Personalize
option.
2/ When the Personalize window
opens, Look in the left hand task pane
and Click on the Change Desktop
Icons link.
3/ The desktop Icon Setting window
will now open.
4/ Under the section marked Desktop Icons
you will see a list of Icons that can be placed on
the desktop.
5/ One of those Icons listed in this section will
be Recycle Bin.
6/ Place a Check Mark in the box
to the Left of the Recycle
Bin option and then Press OK.
7/ The recycle Bin should now be sitting once
more on your desktop.
