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_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows
CurrentVersionExplorerDesktopNameSpace
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 “Keyâ€.
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:
