Right click desktop, select Personalize. In the left pane select Change
Desktop Icons. Check where it says "Recycle Bin". Click OK and you're back
in business.

Right click a blank area of the desktop | Personalize. On the left click on
Change desktop icons. Put a check in Recycle Bin. Ok out.

This happens because when emptying the recycle bin you clicked on delete
instead of Empty Recycle Bin.

Thanks, got it back.

Never knew that going from 98SE to Vista would require so much
learning!

I appreciate it.

(Would you two guys be open to other simple questions like this?)

Yep there is a big learning curve and a paradigm shift in how things work.
Sure, ask away that's what this place is for, users helping users. Create a
new thread for new questions.

Also there are some good references to use. Vista's Help and Support is
quite good.
Google search, http://www.google.com/webhp ,
and searching these newsgroups using Google Groups Advanced search.

The Vista newsgroups are microsoft.public.windows.vista.*

microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_password
microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management
microsoft.public.windows.vista.games
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices
microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail
microsoft.public.windows.vista.music_pictures_video
microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing
microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance_maintenance
microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan
microsoft.public.windows.vista.security

I also suggest you use a newsreader to access these newsgroups. Vista comes
with Windows Mail which is already configured for MS newsgroup access under
Microsoft Communities.

Thanks, Rock. I will check out the above info. Nice to know there's
some regular people around.
