I have done folder options, but still can't see recycle bin. Currently options are set to 'show hidden file', unchecked 'hide protected OS files'. Am I missing something?
@reghakr: recycle bin is not a hidden file/folder. Even if you hide OS files, recycle bin should still be visible.

Since it's on the Desktop, I just dragged it to the Favorites (top left) area of windows explorer. Works great.
