Subject: Question
about Windows 8
Hi, Joe,
Is there
a recycle bin on Windows 8? If so, what is it called? I've
accidentally deleted a file and it's an important one. Not sure what to
do now, except panic. Thanks for any help!
A. RIGHT CLICK on the Desktop, left click on Personalize, in the
upper left hand corner click on Change desktop icons, then put a check mark in Recycle Bin, then OK.
Response: Like a charm. You are just too
wonderful for words! Thanks, Joe (again!!!).
