I somehow deleted the Recycling Bin on my Windows Vista OS.

I’ve searched for it and It’s just gone.

Anyone know where I can find it to restore it, Or what should I do? This was a While ago also, so I’m sure it’s long gone

Go to Control Panel \ Personalize (or right-click on the desktop and select Personalize)

If that doesnt work try this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Deskt op\NameSpace and create a new key called “{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}” then set the (Default) entry for this key to Recycle Bin.

And for the users that cant stop deleting theyre bin, heres a way to never make it go away.

  1. Launch regedit (See more details on starting regedit)

  2. In Regedit, navigate to the following key:
    HKCR\CLSID{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

  3. To create a new registry Key called ‘Shell’, click on the Edit Menu, New, select: Key and name it ‘Shell’. You should now have:
    HKCR\CLSID{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\Shell

  4. Under Shell create a new (Sub) Key called ‘Delete’. Click on the Edit Menu, New, select: Key. You should now have:
    HKCR\CLSID{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\Shell\Delete

  5. Edit the ‘Default’ REG_SZ, as this is just a string value for display you could set to anything you like, for example ‘YourName’s Indestructible Bin’.

Do you guys not know how to use google?..lol

Deleting is always the easy part, its getting it back that will kick you in the ass.

I got rid of my bin on XP, for the whole “no icon clean desktop” look, and I don’t miss it one bit.
