Hi All
When I start up my pc, Microsoft Windows xp 2002 version. Ive recently
noticed the recycle bin is missing from my desktop. So I dont have anywhere
to dump unwanted files. This will inevitably lead to problems when my
girlfriend returns from holidays next week. I have been visiting some
"exotic" sites whilst she was away. If I dont get help here she will most
likely leave me!!!
Please Help
Thanks in advance

Please send me her email address so that I can tell her to look in the
Recycle Bin.
This tip may also be worth a whirl!
I suggest you download and run cCleaner (freeware)
http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp
http://www.ccleaner.com/
With any cleaner you need to proceed with caution. To be safe you
should create a restore point before using cCleaner. cCleaner also
offers backup before removal.
When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form
History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one has
irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's
recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer so
that they can easily be re-entered.
Leave the Scan for Issues option alone.

Hope this helps.
