    All the sudden, my recycle bin is no longer on my desktop. I've looked everywhere I can think of, but I can't find it. Do any of you computer savy types have an idea where it might be? If so, please don't keep it to yourself. I need you to share your knowledge because Windows XP For Dummies doesn't have sections on most of the weird crap that happens to my computer. [​IMG]

    & On a related note, why do I have TWO recycle bins on my XP desktop?

    What if I was to move one of them INTO the other? Would that create a fractal distortion in the time / space continuum & lead to aggy having a clue / blow U not sucking?

    real men don't need no stinking recycling bins -- either delete or don't delete. that's my solution.

    Right-click your desktop, select Arrange Icons By, and select Auto Arrange. See if that makes it show back up. If it doesn't work, we'll have to get out a bigger hammer.

    There was a lot of rain last week so maybe it washed down the street. That happens with mine sometimes. Check with your neighbors.

    They give them away down at the fire dept. Just ask.

    idigTexas' suggestion worked. Thanks!

    As for the rest of you, I wish I had tried idig's idea first. If I had a sarcasm meter, I would have saved myself some embarrassment and humiliation. My neighbor now thinks I'm a real idoit. Thanks for nuttin. [​IMG]

    NCAA,

    Is one of them a shortcut?

    If not, right-click them both, and check what the properties are. Perhaps you have yours configured to handle your drives separately.
