I run win 95 and I have somehow lost my recycle bin. It doesn't show on my desktop anymore. How do I get it back?

go to find files folders.
type in
shelliconcache [all one word]
when it comes up, right click and rename to
shelliconcache.old reboot the computer.
windows will rebuild the icons on the reboot.
hopefully , the recycle bin will reappear.
and, in find files folders, you can type in
*.ico
all system icons will appear

If that doesn't work, follow these steps:

Run regedit and navigate your way to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace.

In the left pane,
right-click the NameSpace key and select New, Key. Type exactly

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Clikd ok. It may be necessary to reboot to initiate the change.
