Windows Xp Recycle Bin Icon Download
Yesterday something happened that changed the direction of
some funtions to my PC...
All my file paths in the 'SAVE AS' context menu dissappeared and I had no
way to save images or programs I download...Got that taken care of...
The start Menu lost several folders of which linked me to them ie:
My Computer icon, My pictures, etc....Got that taken care of too...
However...
one of the puzzling issues is my missing 'Recycle bin'.
It completely disappeared from not only the Desktop...but from the Windows
Explore list too..
I have been to Kelly's Tweaks and tips
(http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm)
and that is how I was able to repair/restore the previous mentioned...
And YES I have tried to run System Restore....it showed System Restore
Completed...however no restoration to the Recycle Bin function or icon
replacement changed....! (sigh)
And the instructions from Kelly's site to restore/replace the function of
the Recycle Bin failed as well...
Anyone have any further ideas of how I can get that back?
I know it still exists on the Hard drive, because as I use Disk Clean
up...it shows it to needing emptying....and I know I can access Disk Cleanup
to empty it...but one day I may accidentally delete something and wish to
retrieve it and won't be able to....(sighs ...Again)
Any help would be a blessing and greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance...
