Vista - Restore Recycle Bin to Desktop

I have followed the instructions given to a T - Personalize - Put check in
box for Recycle Bin and clicked OK, but I can't get the recycle bin ICON back
on my desktop
What am I doing wrong - or what can the problem be

You have to click "Apply" before you click OK.

Hi Winner,

Try setting your view to auto arrange... your Recycle Bin icon might have
"gone offscreen" and it's "there" but you can't see it...

Your description of the instructions given to you appears to be a little vague and simplified. At the risk of repeating what you already knew, allow me to show the step-by-step way : -
1.) right click on the desktop
2.) choose Personalize
3.) click CHANGE DESKTOP ICONS at the left panel
4.) click Recycle Bin (full), then click Change Icon
5.) again, click Recycle Bin (full), then click OK
6.) click Recycle Bin (empty), then click Change Icon
7.) again, click Recycle Bin (empty), then click OK
8.) click APPLY first, then click OK
You'll have your icon back where it was. I did that on my laptop countles times. Please reply successful or not. Thank you.

Didnt work
