| | Re: Wastebasket gone It might have been "switched off" in your settings. Try a right click on the desktop, choose Personalise. When the window opens, on the far left choose Change Desktop Icons - when that window opens make sure the Recycle Bin is ticked and click OK. It should reappear. If not, then I'm danged if I know ;-) Paul "Carl G" <cgerving@msnDOTcom> wrote in message news:7DFE18EB-FC4F-4F15-867F-BF423D20B35B@microsoft.com... > Hi Guys and Gals > Some time between last night and this eavening my recycle bin disapeared > from my desktop. > Can't find it with search. > It is still on my pc somewhere because it is listed in windows explorer , > and I can open it and has deleted files in it yet. > How would I go about finding where it went to? > thanks in advance. > > -- > Carl G > |
