even easier way to do this, without downloading bloated software!!
There is a new option in Vista which allows you to delete the recycle bin.
If you want it back do the following:
-->control panel
-->appearance and personalization
-->personalization
-->change desktop icons
then select the icons you want on the desktop

you only give a link for xp if i had a similiar problem but with vista how would i fix it. And do you know a way to find out why it went, as this morning i turned on my computer and it was gone with me being the only one with access to it and i know for sure i didn't delete it.

Please re-read the article. Particularly the big yellow box that says "Windows Vista Users: please see ..."

Lovely! Thank you so much for the article. I deleted my Recycle Bin, thinking that I would just remove it from the desktop and could find it elsewhere. Well, guess what . . . no Recycle Bin! Now it is fully restored, and with everything I deleted in it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

In the case where the recycle bin does not change state (empty/full) any more, you can repair this as follows: Right click on the desktop > Personalize > Theme > change the theme to e.g. "Windows Classic" > then change it back to one of the Vista themes. That will make your recycle bin function again.

RIGHT CLICK YOUR DESKTOP, CLICK 'PERSONALIZE' AND THEN CLICK THE SECTION ON THE LEFT THAT SAYS 'CHANGE DESKTOP ICONS' A WINDOW SHOULD POP UP WITH DESKTOP ICON NAMES AND CHECK BOXES NEXT TO THEM. CHECK THE BOX NEXT TO RECYCLE BIN. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING.

i think i have a solution just simply type this web address (http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Recycle-bin-Vista-Gadget-Download-89852.html) into your internet URL and download the link (us) then install the software into your windows vista sidebar from there it will allow you to access all your files in the recycling bin.

That is not the quickest way. You dont need to download anything to get the recycle bin back in Windows Vista. All you do is go to ...
CONTROL PANEL > APPEARANCE AND PERSONALIZATION > PERSONALIZATION > on the left side click CHANGE DESKTOP ICONS... tick recycle bin and click OK.

Dont even waste your time downloading that software.

what you most likely did is delete the recycling bin icon. if this is true right click on the desktop (the pretty little picture that displays on your screen with no other windows open). click personalize. In the window that comes up there should be a blue column on the left. under tasks click change desktop icons. put a check in the box that says recycling bin.

JARATPAN, you are a lifesaver. I guess I deleted it by mistake. This Vista thing is something else. Not consumer friendly. THANKS a MILLION!

Hey or you can also right click on your desktop and select personalize(vista version) then on the left it should say "Chance desktop Icons" that will let you manage the icons that you have on your desktop such as the recicly bin =)

i deleted my girlfriend's recycle bin off her laptop by accident cos she's got vista and i have xp on my pc, and i didn't know they were different when it came to this subject. this page may have saved my life-keep it quiet though, i haven't told her, so i think i've got away with it...
