I was using rocket docket and thought it would be cool to remove my trash bin icon from my desktop so the only icons were the rocket docket. Well my computer is somewhat older and didn't like the docket so I had to quit using it. Now I don't know how I removed my trash bin and don't know how to get it back. HELP!

When I click on this link it just takes me to a page of script. Nothing to open that I see. If I right click I can just open in new window or tab.

Which page? Try to right click on lin and choose open new tab, both work on my end
You did not mention what OS

Awesome! I got on my computer this morning and there it was. A recycle bin! Woo hoo! I thought this didn't work but it did.

Thanks,Danny
