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.
How do I fix this problem?

Version 6.1(Build 7601:Service Pack 1) – Ishikawa Yoshi May 04 '12 at 08:28

I meant Home/Professional/Ultimate? At least you are patched to date though. – Amicable May 04 '12 at 08:31

Do you use this PC on a company domain? – BJ292 May 04 '12 at 12:13

sorry, you ask it's company pc or not? anyway it's not a home pc it's work pc – Ishikawa Yoshi May 04 '12 at 12:20

@IshikawaYoshi Being a company PC would not automatically imply it being part of a Windows domain (but it would be likely). Please see: http://superuser.com/questions/399747/how-to-determine-whether-computer-is-on-domain-from-event-logs/399780#399780 – Oliver Salzburg May 04 '12 at 12:24

Hope This post will help you , please try it.
Recycle Bin option is unavailable in Desktop icons settings box, you need to enable it via Windows Registry by following the steps given below:
Download Restore Recycle Bin Registry file.
Right-click on the file and then select Open.
Click Yes for the prompt.
Now click Ok. Reboot your machine to see Recycle Bin on your Desktop. Note that this will also enable Recycle Bin option in Desktop icon settings box.

1@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. – Ramhound May 04 '12 at 14:46
