Don't Delete The Recycle Bin

I was finishing up a data transfer to a new computer for a client. It was a difficult one. It took me over 3 hours to get the data transferred and programs working correctly.

I set the client down in front of the computer to walk him through some of the basics on his new Windows Vista computer. I did not think much when he moved the curser up to the Recycle Bin. Before I could say a word he had deleted the Recycle Bin.

I said, "NO!" He looked up at me as if he had just broke his brand new computer.

I calmly looked down a him and said, "Let me show you how to bring back the Recycle Bin." In disbelief, he nodded his up and down.

"Now left click on a open space on the desktop," was my instruction in a voice assurance. After directioning the client into management of the desktop icon. All he had to do was put a check in the box to reshow the Recycle Bin icon.

That is another reason why I like Windows Vista, is there is help when it comes to fixing mistakes.
