How to restore Recycle Bin Icon on desktop.

[niceguy3806]

I was attempting to empty my recycle bin and accidently deleted the icon from
the desktop. How do I restore the recycle bin icon onto the desktop? Thanks
for helping.

Hi, NiceGuy.

Right-click on your Desktop and choose Personalize from the context menu.
Then click Change desktop icons (on the left-hand menu) and be sure there is
a check in the Recycle Bin box.

Right-click on the Desktop, click Personalize, and in the left pane, click Change desktop icons. In the Desktop Icon Settings dialog, enable the Recycle Bin checkbox. Click OK. See also:
