715128 2008-10-27 07:23:00 Just noticed that the Recycle Bin icon is not on my desktop. How do I get it to show on the desktop? bk T (215)
715129 2008-10-27 07:28:00 Right click on the Desktop / Personalize.

Top left look for the wording "Change desktop icons" - click that, a list of various options will appear giving various Icons to be shown on desktop, put ticks in the ones you want - click OK

Note: If they dont show right away, right click the desktop again, this time click refresh, and they will appear.

Edited: if you want IE7 theres a reg hack.

Which is - shown here (www.howtogeek.com) - By default its not showing.

Edited 2: some times the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER doesn't work , so use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Rest of path the same as above instructions.
