    I am losing my mind. Where is the *()#)&*Q recycle bin. It somehow was removed from my desktop. I am ready to throw my monitor through the wall. Can someone help before my head explodes. :mad

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi

    Have to add that this is one annoyance for me with vista is that its too easy to accidently delete the bin itself instead of the contents, so I sort an alternative in a sidebar gadget recycle bin
