564675 2007-06-30 23:30:00 I notice that the Recycle Bin Icon has gone from my desktop. I am running XP Pro.
I have read other threads and suggestions on how to get it back and have tried these, without success, all excepting editing the registry files which I am not too keen on doing.
Is there any other way of getting this back, or is it easier to do a reinstall or repair of the OS?:dogeye:

Its under WinXP fixes.

Press ctrl-f type in recycle, click on it, right mouse then save link as.

Its a reg file.
