I deleted my recycle bin, help!

I accidentally deleted my recycle bin on my desktop. I have windows vista and I cant find the short cut or the program any where on my computer any more. But when i delete something it says ''would you like to send this to the recycle bin'' so obviously its there but I cant find it! What do I do?

"For those who use Window Vista... I lost my recycle bin and still dont know why it disappeared. Got it back by: right-click, Personalize, Change desktop icons (left menu), check Recycle Bin, then OK.

If you have a damaged trash can, how do you throw it away? Will the garbage men take it away?

Yeah! If this ever happens to you and your on a vista. Right click, go to personalize. Click change icons. Then check the box next to the recycle bin in the box up top in the menu.
