i deleted my recycle bin!

!!

I was trying to just *right click–empty recycle bin* but i accidentally pressed *right click– delete* and when it told me that i was about to DELETE the recycle bin off my desktop and how to get it back onto there, i thought it was asking me if i wanted to “delete these ___ items permanently” and so i clicked yes…

I need my recycle bin back! can anyone help me?
ive got windows vista if that makes any difference

I have just tried that. I right clicked on the recycle bin, it doesn’t give me the option to delete it.
Try turning of your computer, then restart it again, this should bring it back again.

Yes, it’s possible to do it in Vista.

Start Menu>Control Panel>Personalization>Desktop Icon Settings on the side, then check “Recycle Bin”, click OK, and behold, it is back!
