			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Question:</p>
<p>Didier asks: I run Windows XP. I have accidentally deleted my recycle bin icon from the desktop and doesn&#8217;t seem to find it anywhere. Can you help me finding it?</p>
<p>Answer:</p>
<p>Thanks for your question. A few readers have approached me on the recommend way to recover a deleted recycle bin. There are multiple ways to solving this issue, including modifying your registry (which i do not recommend!), or restoring the icon manually from the file system. That said, i think that using the free <a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe" rel="nofollow">Tweak UI</a> utility from Microsoft is the approach to take.</p>
<p>Go ahead and install the utility on your Windows XP PC. The Recycle bin can can be easily restored from the Desktop tab.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One weird problem with Windows XP is that it doesn&#8217;t seem to be shutting down and you continuously see the &#8220;Saving Your Settings&#8221; message on the screen.</p>
<p>How to resolve this issue of Windows XP hanging during shut down?</p>
<p>Here are a few solutions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Set Windows XP to update automatically by going to Control Panel &gt;&gt; Automatic Updates</li>
<li>Update device drivers, if that doesn&#8217;t solve the problem &#8211; uninstall and reinstall the drivers</li>
<li>Uninstall programs that you no longer need, these might be clogging the system</li>
</ul>
<p>This should resolve the issue in most cases of Windows XP hanging during shut down.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Here's a registry tweak that will allow you to restore your Recycle bin desktop icon if you have previously removed it (applicable to Windows XP).]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not long ago, Shankar proposed a Windows XP registry tweak that will allow you to <a href="http://easytweaks.com/2007/07/03/how-to-delete-recycle-bin-from-desktop/">remove the recycle bin from your desktop</a>. Today, i would like to show you the opposite trick, namely, how to restore the recycle bin icon after it was removed from your Windows XP desktop.</p>
<p>Remember: the implementation of the following trick requires that you manually modify the system registry. This is an advanced task that if done incorrectly can break your operating system and cause a severe data loss. Implement this trick at your own risk.</p>
<ul>
<li>Backup the registry file. Use the instructions provided in section 2 <a href="http://www.avirtualexit.com/2007/04/13/how-to-backup-the-windows-registry/">here</a>.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Start</strong>, the click <strong>Run</strong> and type Regedit to open your Registry Editor.</li>
<li>Browse to  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\<br />
Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace.</li>
<li>Right click it, click <strong>New</strong> and then <strong>Key</strong>.</li>
<li> Type  {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} and click enter.</li>
<li>Go to the right pane, right click the newly created key and double click <strong>Default</strong>.</li>
<li>Assign a name of your choice to the Recycle bin icon.</li>
<li>Click <strong>OK</strong> and close the registry editor.</li>
<li>Go to your desktop, the Recycle Bin icon is now restored.</li>
<p>Note: This trick applies to Windows XP &#8211; in Vista, it can be done without manipulating the registry.</p>
