Hi everybody,

I erased by mistake the recycle bin on the desktop... does anyone has an
idea to put it back...???

Thanks in advance,

FRSNK

Erased contents -or- the Bin itself. You can re-establish the icon using
Tweak-UI Powertoy for XP. One of it's categories is "Desktop", and
has a checkbox to show the Bin.

The Recycle Bin has erased itself !? FRSNK, that's a problem for
Einstein's friends and quantum physics not windowsxp.general.

Instead, try the alt.physics.quantum.recycle_singularity newgroup.

LOL... wow!!! amazing... how many answers!!! LOVE IT!!!

I am used to go to the French/Spanish Newsgroups ( 'cause I am in France and
my mother tongue is spanish) but I am definitively gonna switch to the
english newsgroups!!!!

However, I tried to put it back from the Display Settings -> Customize...
and it did not work...

I'm gonna try the Rock's option from Kelly's site... will let you know..

Actually I got the answer from a french newsgroup...

Get into the registry... find the key named:
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\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...
