Missing Recycle Bin on XP Desktop

[DigDug]

I had a recycle bin.

But for some reason, its missing.

I have to go to My Computer and hit the back button to get to the desltop folder, where it appears, and empty it there.

What happened?

Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP

http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWSXP/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

It has the option to hide/show the recycle bin. Try toggling it and hitting "Apply"

[edit]
TweakUI has the option, TweakUI is a part of the PowerToys package...

Dammit! Microsoft pulled the download from their site with no explanation as to why. Apparently they aren't only working on a new version, they must have found a flaw in the old one.

I think I may still have my old setup file...
