I have strange problem with the recycle bin icon on my Windows 7 system. I can't enable it in the "Desktop icon Settings" window by checking the checkbox to show it, because this option is unavailable.

Enter image description here

How do I fix this problem?

Recycle Bin option is unavailable in Desktop icons settings box, you need to enable it via Windows Registry by following the steps given below:

  1. Download Restore Recycle Bin Registry file.

  2. Right-click on the file and then select Open.

  3. Click Yes for the prompt. enter image description here enter image description here

    @IshikawaYoshi - If it didn't update the registry for you then it didn't have permission to do so. The script work fine on a virtual machine I tested it on.
