I restarted my computer and my recycle bin is not on the desktop. I have no idea what to do or where to go to get it back on there. Plz help!
 
There's one old registry fix you can try to see if any values there are missing. You can find a link for the free download and instructions at http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/rec_bin.htm

Another thing you can take a look at is found in the desktop properties. You simply right click anywhere on the desktop to bring up the menu seen there and choose the properties link. Click on the customize desktop button and then highlight each of the two listings there. On each one browse for an icon file and then cancel to re-apply the default. Hopefully that will see the original full and empty icons reappear. But try the fix if it still fails to return.
