My Recycle Bin icon is gone

Q:
I was looking on my desktop this morning and I realized my Recycle Bin icon is gone! Do you have any viagra prescription canada idea what happened to it or how I can get it back? Please help!

A:
That's a very good question and I promise, you're not the only one this has ever happened to! So, you're telling me that your Recycle Bin icon just disappeared from your desktop. Perhaps it was in place one night before you went to bed, but in the morning when you started up your computer again, it was long gone. Where did it go? What happened to it? But more importantly, how can you get it back? Well, there are a few things you can try to get your Recycle Bin icon back where it's supposed to be. If you've run out of options, give these a try!

The first thing you can do is right click on your desktop and choose Properties. Once you're there, hit the Desktop tab and then click on the Customize Desktop button. In the middle of that box, you will see some of the more common desktop icons. Click on the one for the Recycle Bin (it looks like a trash can) and then hit the Restore Default button. Click OK and then go take a look at your desktop. The Recycle Bin icon should be back, but if it's not, don't lose hope. There are still a couple other things you can try!

For the next option, go down to your taskbar and right click on any open space. >From the menu that pops up, click on Toolbars, Desktop. The word "Desktop" will then appear at the end of your taskbar with a double arrow beside it. Right click on that arrow and you will see an option for the Recycle Bin. Next, drag and drop the Recycle Bin icon to your desktop.

That should reinstate your icon for you, but if you're still having trouble, try this! Right click on your taskbar again and go to Toolbars, New Toolbar. There should be an option there for the Recycle Bin as well. You can then drag and drop that icon to your desktop. Doing any of these three things should bring your Recycle Bin icon back and you can get on with your daily computing. Yes!
