The waste bin has disappeared off the vista desktop?
Any ideas how to get it back?
Thanks

My mistake I meant Suse 11.1 as detailed below.
It came with Vista - just one of those moments.
Sorry

I seem to remember this happening to me once a few years ago. Can’t
remember what the solution was but I worked around it by creating a
symbolic link to /dev/null on my desktop.
Code:
cd ~/Desktop
ln -s /dev/null ./
Then I could just move files into that folder when needed. Of course
this doesn’t provide the restore functionality that the normal trash
does.
I thought - change back to KDE4 see the basket and hopefully changing
back again to KDE3.5 would give me the trash basket again. BUT it did
not boot up in KDE4 it just went to this TWM screen. I have started a
new thread on this.
Thanks

Well… in KDE4 solution is pretty simple. Try if it works for you on
KDE3.5: Righ-click your desktop and open tab “add mini program”. There
you simply select the waste bin to add to the desktop.

Went to desktop, opened up wastebin properties, then made another one
like it. For you, of course you have no wastebin, but you could always
logon as root or as another user and take a look. When I install, I make
my own logon, nigma, but also accept the standard ID, lxuser, which I
keep available to look at for issues like this - but you could setup a
new ID. HTH

Hi
I was in TWM - found exit and logged into KDE 3
In KDE3 there is no ‘add mini program’ on the right hand click.,
folder, txt file, html file, link to location, link to appication, link
to device
Thanks

Hi
Yes I created another user and the trash is there.
noted details but cannot create one on my own desktop?
I think it may be root controlled?
So still not sorted
Thanks

Did you do this bit?
Right Click Desktop
-> Create New
-> Link to Application
-> URL = trash:/
-> Application Name = Wastebin
-> OK

root?
