Recycle Bin

Question

I have 2 related issues: - Somehow the recycle bin on the desktop was changed to a shortcut to the recycle bin. Does anybody know how to get the recycle bin back? I am running Windows VISTA Ultimate 32bit - On my wifes machine, the recyclebin disappeared completely. I don't know how to get it back.   Any help is appreciated.
