Recycle Bin won't open

Just a simple quick problem here.
I can no longer open my Recycle Bin. Can't doulbe click on it, can't right click it open, can't find it in my Desktop Folder.
I can still right click on it to delete files, but it won't open in its own window.
First, it's located at the root of C:\ Your recycle bin, that is. It's called recycled. Just for the sake of trying. Go Start...Run and type; c:\recycled and press Enter. Does it open a window? Do you have things in the recycle bin, that you might want to restore? Do you have any symantec (norton) software installed?

Well, typing C:\recycle does the trick, opening the window that is, but double clicking on my icon still won't do anything :(
I use Norton 2002. There is nothing in the bin that I need anymore.
I open my c:\ folder, but I cannot find any file named "recycle".
Is there anythign you might be able to do to help, so I don't have to type c:\recycle to open it every time?
