You can create a new desktop icon for any folder, file, or
program by dragging the element’s icon from its location in a
window to the desktop area.
The icons initially displayed on your system desktop include:

updates, services and support, and other important benefits.
Recycle Bin — Holds files you have deleted using the
Windows Explorer. You may retrieve these files until you
empty the Recycle Bin.

not go into the Recycle Bin. For more information on the
Recycle Bin, see Windows online Help.
