You can get your Recycle Bin back by creating a new folder. Then,
rename it "Recycle.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}". Name the
folder exactly as it appears between the quotes. The name before the
period can be any name but the part after the period must be exactly
the same. After the period is the CLSID identifier that Windows uses
to identify the Recycle Bin.
I'm pretty sure that this is the same CLSID for all of Microsoft's
versions of Windows. If it doesn't work for your version, do a
registry "Value" search for "Recycle Bin". The Key Name for that value
is the CLSID for the Recycle Bin that you need to enter as part of the
folder's name, instead of the one above.
