Recycle Bin

If one does not have an icon on one's desktop or laptop, where can one find the Recycle Bin? Ta Muchly.

only thing I can think of is control panel and search from there.

(Probably wrong, I usually am when it comes to technology things!)

Me too Al, but Many Thanks and I'll have a look.

Hi Woodelf. Here's how to get the icon back:

In Windows 7 (and possibly in Windows 8 too):
Click the Start button, type 'desktop icons' into the search box, and then click 'Show or hide common icons on the desktop'.
In the Desktop Icon Settings dialog box, click to place a tick in the Recycle Bin check box. Click OK.

In Windows Vista:
Go to Start and click on Control Panel. Then click on Appearance and Personalization, followed by Personalization.
In the left pane, click Change desktop icons.
Click to place a tick alongside the Recycle Bin check box.
Click OK.

The Recycle Bin shouldn't disappear to option to hide it), so I'm hoping that's not what you're using!

Very Many Thanks for that Chris.
