Their must be an method more easy than this..

 

Method 2: Edit the registry to restore the Recycle Bin

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

 

Note This procedure does not work if the system administrator used a Group Policy setting to hide the Recycle Bin (or "All Icons") on the Desktop.

 

To edit the registry to make the Recycle Bin icon reappear on the desktop, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.

3. Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

4. Right-click the registry key that you located in step 3, point to New, and then click Key.

5. Type {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}, and then press ENTER.

6. Click the new {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} key that you created in step 5.

7. In the right pane, double-click the (Default) entry.

8. In the Edit String dialog box, type Recycle Bin in the Value data box, and then click OK.

9. Quit Registry Editor.

Click start, go to search, and type in "recycle bin"

 

It might still be on your computer somewhere, the search take several minutes.

 

You may have only deleted the icon...its worth a try.

Hi Not sure if you sorted this but, Try this

 

Click Start, and then click My Computer.

On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.

Click the View tab, and then click to clear the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box.

Click Yes when the warning message appears, and then click OK to close the Folder Options dialog box.

Click Folders on the toolbar.

 

If Folders is not visible on the toolbar, point to Toolbars on the View menu, and then click Standard Buttons.

 

In the left pane, under Folders, locate the Recycle Bin folder, and then drag the Recycle Bin folder to the desktop.

On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.

Click the View tab, and then click to select the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box. Click OK

 

Should work for you ok
