Method 1:
Use the Program That Removed the Recycle Bin to Restore the Recycle Bin
If you used the TweakUI program to hide the Recycle Bin, follow these steps to restore the Recycle Bin to the desktop: WARNING : If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel

In the right pane, right-click the following registry DWORD value, and then click Modify:
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK. (The TweakUI utility sets this value to 1 to hide the Recycle Bin icon.)
Quit Registry Editor.

The Recycle Bin icon reappears on the Desktop.

Method 2:
Edit the Registry to Restore the Recycle Bin
Note This procedure will not work if the system administrator used a Group Policy to hide the Recycle Bin (or "All Icons") on the Desktop.

To edit the registry to make the Recycle Bin icon reappear on the desktop:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

Right-click the registry key that you located in step 3, point to New, and then click Key.
Type {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}, and then press ENTER.
Click the new {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} key that you created in step 5.
In the right pane, double-click the (Default) entry.
In the Edit String dialog box, type Recycle Bin in the Value data box, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor.

The Recycle Bin icon reappears on the Windows desktop.


Looks like method 2 is your best bet. X-Setup should have an option to remove\remlace the recycle bin:

Good point, you can look in the registry, see if it matches, I cant find anything else except the tool I linked to which might be easier.
