How to restore Recycle Bin after deleting

Remember the post I did, on how you can remove the recycle bin permanently. LOL, a non-geekish friend of mine tried that, and successfully removed his recycle bin from his desktop. But now, he wants it back. I even told him how to do it, but still he asked for a tutorial. So this tutorial is dedicated to my friend, Fouzan :cool:

It’s very simple! You just have to reverse the old trick :wink:

Remember: Backup your registry first!

First, open your Registry Editor (Run > type regedit) and navigate to:

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

Now, do you remember what you did to remove the recycle bin? Well, you deleted the following entry:

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

But to restore it back, you will have to create this back. After navigating to the above path, right-click on NameSpace, click “New” and then click “Key”.

Name the key: {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Now close the Registry Editor and you’ll see your Recycle Bin back in its place. :wink:

    I’ve tried this, but my Recycle Bin still does not work. I mean, there is no Recycle Bin icon on desktop, and if I delete a file, it is not moved to Recycle Bin. When I browse to C:\Recycler, I can see file Desktop.ini and folder with name like “S-(some numbers)”. If I open this folder properties, I see there option for Recycle Bin, but whatever I set there, my Recycle Bin does not work, and all files or folder that I delete (without “SHIFT”) are not moved to Recycle Bin. So are there anything else, that I could try to restore my Recycle Bin functionality. Besides I already tried Kerrie registry scripts for Recycle Bin restoration.

    @ray ray: Your deleted files are still going in the Recycle Bin. As for how to get it back, at this moment I’m not sure how to do it.
