Thank Bob,
It's resolved it had to do with a setting in the register. To restore the
Recycle Bin icon to the Desktop (for standalone Windows Vista systems), I
used the registry fix available for download from the Attachments section. I
downloaded showrecyclebin.reg and saved it to the Desktop. Then I
Right-clicked on the file and then choose Merge. Click Yes to confirm.

All the best,
