Disappearing Shortcuts/Folders

After having lost some of my personal picture, which have disappeared
somewhere, I have now noticed that the recling bin after having deleted some
files has disappeared from the desktop.

I have found it though the explorer but it doesn't appear on the desktop.
Now, I have run the shadow explorer and the bin folder apears writtens as :
$RECYCLE.BIN, which suggests me some registry problem (or maybe this is the
way it should be). Anyone knows why.

I do believe this is connected to what happened to my pictures, the folder
in which I had stored them disappeared in the same way. That time my pictures
in it were lost though.

Thanks in advance

I sometimes lost my recycle bin too. Since it is part of the desktop theme, you can usually get it back by changing the theme back and forth.
