    The recycling bin on my desktop has disappeared.When I go to Personalization and click Change desktop icons a messege shows up saying "Your system administrator has disabled launching of the Display Settings Control Panel."

    Neither my fiancee or myself had done this and we cannot figure out how to undo this to bring back the bin. Please help!

    Hi

     

    We can fix this, but the procedure depends on which version of Vista you are using?

    Do you have Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate?
