Make sure no other applications are open: Press DEL + ALT + CTRL to bring up the Task manager on the task manager click on Processes Tab then scroll to highlight the Explorer.exe process and select End Process, you will notice your desktop will shudder and the icons & taksbar will disappear. Click on the command prompt window to open and type in the following: C:\>rd /s /q C:\Recycler Hit [Enter] on your Keyboard then type Exit and Hit Enter to exit the command prompt. Click on the Task manager to activate and on the Applications Tab click the Button labelled New Task and on the New Task window type in: Explorer click [OK] and your Desktop Icons and Taskbar will come to life again. Right click or Double click your Recycle Bin and see if you can see or try to create a file and delete it and see if that will go to the recycle Bin. = Another is to check: Right click the Recycle Bin and select Properties from the list. On the Recycle Bin Properties under Global Tab make sure this Check box not checked: [ ] Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. uncheck this Remove Files immediately when deleted <= this equal to SHIFT + DEL and also make sure the Display delete confirmation dialog is selected.

Could it be that you have set it to delete files on exit? In other words, when you shut down the files get deleted, which is how mine is set up.
