    When you go Display/ Desktop /Customize Desktop, did you try the Restore Default button?

    yup,also tried this.

    To edit the registry to make the Recycle Bin icon reappear on the desktop:
    1. Click Start, and then click Run.
    2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
    3. Locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
    4. Right-click the registry key that you located in step 3, point to New, and then click Key.
    5. Type {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}, and then press ENTER.

    Sorted.
    This done the trick.

    1. Click Start, and then click My Computer.
    2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab, and then click to clear the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box. Click Yes when the warning message appears.
    4. Click Folders on the toolbar.
    5. In the left pane, under Folders, locate the Recycle Bin folder, and then drag the Recycle Bin folder to the desktop.
    6. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    7. Click the View tab, and then click to select the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box. Click OK.
