    recycle bin/Vista

    I negligently deleted the recycle bin in windows Vista.
    I had to do the hard way: recovered my HDD by using Acronis TI.
    Is there any easy way to recovering my recycle bin without using my Acronis TI?
    Thank you

    Control Panel | Personalization...Left panel: Change Desktop icons:

    Recycle Bin checked? Hit restore Default. Did that do it????

    Murf,
    I did recover the hard way: using my Acronis TI.
    But thank U for the tip. I will use it the next time.
    This is the 3rd time I delete the recycle bin. Don't know why I have the tendancy to hit the "delete" instead of the "empty recycle bin"

    Are we talking about Windows Vista?
    Vista has different interface.

    Hi, Murf
    I got it. Thanks
    I had to change to "classic view" to find the "personalization" icon.
    Have a nice day.

    All you are doing is deleting the shortcut, not the RB itself. All you need to do to put it back is to right-click the Desktop, choose Personalize, then in the left-hand pane click "Change desktop icons". In the dialog box that comes up just check Recycle Bin.
    Nick.

    Same as I suggested, just a different route.
