Open up the Display Properties in the Control Panel and select "Desktop"
tab, then "Customize Desktop" button. You should be able to add the Recycle
Bin back to your desktop by checking the Recycle Bin option.

Thanks man.. I already did it and did not fix it, but someone already gave
me the answer in a french newsgroup...

Get into the registry... find the key named:
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Deskto
p
Right click on it on the NameSpace folder, option New -> Key
Create a new key called: {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
Close the registry and then push on F5 to refresh the desktop..
Voilà... the recycle bin is back!!!!

Thanks anyway... I'll stay around anyway... I like your reactivity...!!!!

Good to hear that you have your Recycle Bin back. I was going to provide you
the Recycle Bin Namespace for the Recycle Bin solution if the first method I
posted didn't work but you have already received this solution from another
knowledgeable user.

Thanks for your feedback of the solution to you problem so that others may
benefit from it.
