Question by Melissa: How do I get the recycle bin icon back on my desktop?
I meant to delete the items in my recycle bin,but I accidentally deleted the recycle bin icon on my desktop instead. Does anybody know how to get it back? Thanks!

Answer by James
heres a good explanation if youre using vista. i hear xp is more convoluted, but it might work the same way:
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’.
