How can I get to the recycle bin without the desktop icon in windows 7?
Problem
I hate having anything on my desktop. I usually remove all the icons from the desktop, even the recycle bin. Occasionally I need to access the recycle bin, but having to re-enable the icon just to open it, is annoying. I was hoping I could use the windows search bar built into the start menu but typing "recycle" or "recycle bin", but that returns nothing. How else can I access the recycle bin without using the desktop icon?

Open Explorer (Windows Logo + E) then type "Recycle bin" in the address bar. That should work just fine, else add Recycle bin to your favorite locations in Exlorer. Or press the Windows logo and type: explorer.exe ::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} Which you can of course assign a hot-key to any arbitrary keyboard key or key combination.
