I need help. I am new to PCs and have accidentally deleted my recycle bin
from the desktop. Does anyone know how I can get it back?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Follow Mark's instructions. All that happened was you saw "delete" further
down the context menu from "empty the recycle bin" and assumed since you
were deleting files that it was the one you wanted. All too common. The
beta testers tried in vain to convince the Vista team to call it something
else, like "hide the recycle bin."
