Problem solved

alerting one and all to having achieved a solution is like needlessly inserting a gay-midget-bowling S&M cliffhanger into a eulogy... innapropriate...

Post A: - "hey guys, my spleen is sticking out my left ear and i've tried everything to get it back in but it's really painful and now it's oozing stuff.."

Post B: - "nevermind. problem solved."

[short version]what was the problem and how did you solve it? i'm sure i'm not the only one agog with curiosity... [/short version]

He probably deleted the recycle bin.

You get it back by going into the control panel and restoring it (can't remember the exact method, i'm posting from mobile so i can't experiment to find the method)

Probably found it in the Recycle Bin.

by deleting it, it would have to try and store itself within itself... behaviour like this could bring about the end times...

***Sigh.*** Vista allows you to remove the recycle bin from the desktop.

And i'm pretty sure if you go to the recycler settings, there is a restore to desktop option

Windows 3.1

Stuart, I thought it saved it to the CMOS battery for future use.

Yes, but Sea-Moss Batteries have a habit of resetting themselves to 2002, so you have to find a pre-2002 Recycle Bin to be sure it will work without deleting itself again.

Stuart, So would that include a 2002 system restore point?

The techie at the local computer store took the Recycle Bin, but the Sea-Moss police caught him. Now he's sitting in 2002 in a solitary jail cell in France.

It would include a backup Sea-Moss battery.
