Recycle Bin is bad at the desktop.

When you double click the desktop icon, the Recycle Bin just jumps to a task on the taskbar. I won’t let me right-click the task and open it or restore the window. It just sits there when I try. I CAN however, go into Windows Explorer and click on the Recycle Bin and see what’s deleted. I can also restore and permanently delete the files from Explorer. The Recycle Bin seems to work fine as long as I get to it thru Explorer. Hopefully there’s a quick fix for this one. The company President, that has the problem on his laptop with all of its odd device drivers, seems to think this is a simple fix.
