Lost recycle bin (trash can) desktop ICON

Okay, I know this is not very important, but after I installed Win Vista
Ultimate and moved my desktop recycle bin (trash can) to the lower left of my
screen, I noticed some time later it was GONE!

Now the only way I can empty the trash is to go through Windows Explorer or
click on My Computer and find the recycle bin to empty it.

This is a small problem, I know. I'm very happy just to have Windows Vista
working well, and I've recently learned I must turn User Account Control
(UAC) OFF in order to get my color settings to be saved. I'm learning
something new every day! :)
 
Right click Desktop - Personalize and in the upper left of the UI there will be a link to desktop icons.

You probably right clicked on it and choose Delete instead of Empty Recycle
Bin. See the other post for how to restore it, it's easy to fix.
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll never lose my recycle bin again. :)
