Hi i have now tried to edit the registry as these instructions have stated but no luck

n order to restore the Recycle Bin icon to the desktop just re-create the missing key (or import it back to the registry in case you've exported it earlier).

In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

Create the following key:
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
(just copy/paste, including the brackets).

Am i doing something wrong?

This solution requires EXACT data entry.

Click Start > Run
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
Right-click the registry key, point to New, and then click Key.
Type {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}, and then press ENTER.
Click the new {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} key that you created.
In the right pane, double-click the (Default) entry.
In the Edit String dialog box, type Recycle Bin in the Value data box, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor.

Good Luck...
