Long story short. Went to Empty Recycle Bin, hit "Delete" by accident. (Why
there is a delete button for the Recycle Bin I have no clue.) Think "crap".
Being a Mac user primarily there is no such thing as being able to delete
your Recycle Bin.

Look in properties on the Desktop to figure out how to bring it back, see
Previous Versions tab. Think, "Ah!". Hit the previous versions tab and tell
it to restore my Desktop to how it was at 3am (The only time available).
Hmm, it's bringing back a few folders, ok whatever.

Wait, where did all the work I spent the last few hours on go? CRAP! How
do I "undo" an undo? Need help. Am trying Windows to see if it's gotten any
better and if I actually want to purchase a license to continue using it. So
far, not so much.

Thanks.

right-click on desktop --> Personalize --> Change desktop items -->
check box for "Recycle Bin"

I'm not seeing the connection to the deleted Recycle Bin icon here. What
were you doing? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?
