U DA MAN, I've been going crazy trying to get my recycle bin back. Never saw

"Change Destop Icons" I have been to the personalize section a hundred times.

Thank you

I just want to say thanks for the solution. I am brand new to Vista and
I am surprised the issues is as old as it is and yet my brand new
install with all available updates still ran into this problem. The
steps were clear and most importantly.....IT WORKED. Too bad it wasn't
fixed in the software.

week. Had to use a short cut!

Right click the recycle bin and select "empty recycle bin." Do not
select "delete" for that will make the bin go away again. Don't ask how
many times I've deleted my recycle bin. Just another new and exciting
Vista feature.

OK so I just read your post again. You mean when you Click "empty
recycle bin" it doesn't appear to empty?
