My young daughter has just come to me in great distress. She has Vista Home Premium on her new PC. To empty the Recycle Bin she clicked on the desktop icon and selected 'delete'. Now she has no icon.I suggested she try a system restore and she said she had turned it off to 'save space' She only has a 60GB hard-drive!!!!
I am a Mac man and cannot help her. Can anyone pleasehelp her? I think she will have learned her lesson but she's only 9.
