This seems like a simple question and I feel silly for asking but here goes anyway. I am running WIN98 2nd Edition and cannot find the recycle bin. It does not appear to be available. I have went into Device Manager/Disk Drives and made sure of removable check box but still cannot Find or use Recycle Bin. I know that windows may be corrupted but have no evidence of that other than inability to find the Recycle Bin. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Try right clicking on your desktop and arrange icons, any order will do. The icon may have been inadverdently moved off the viewing area of the screen, this should bring it back into view.

Also under properties settings the the size of the screen area may have been changed and this would put it out of the viewing area. Could also increase screen area to bring back the missing icon.

Do you have Tweak installed? Look in the Control Panel for a icon called Tweak UI. If it's there, then open it up. Click on the Desktop tab, and make sure the Recycle Bin's checkbox is checked. You can actually take the icon off the desktop among others you thought impossible with this little program.
