lost red recycle bin icon in Outlook 2016

Hi,


Recycle Bin icon on the desktop in Windows can easily be deleted or removed. Since you cannot find the recycle bin icon, here’s the simple recovery method to get back or unhide it. Follow the steps provided from this link: Show or hide the Recycle Bin

Update us with the result.

To toggle Tablet Mode off, click the Notification Icon in the right corner of the Taskbar, then click the "Tablet mode" button (it should be highlighted) to turn it off.  Another way is to go to Settings/System/Tablet Mode, turn it off, and set the "When I sign in" selection to Go to the desktop.

I'm still running WIN8.1. It's not the same as the article you sent me. I've searched through Control Panel and cant find it. But I do not think that is an answet cuz when I flip the screen and it goes into tablet mode the little red icons do not come back.

Maybe thats a feature new to Win10. 

My bad, here's how to do it with 8.1:

How to Enable Boot to Desktop in Windows 8.1

Hi Hal...

If we were in a face-to-face conversation I think I would be able to communicate better...I already have the laptop in the desktop-first setting.  That was never an issue.  Even when I flip it to tablet, the desktop remains, it never goes to start unless I choose it.  And all of the tablet features are accessible.

I'm about ready to concede the whole issue and accept the fact that this feature of Outlook RUNS ON WIN 10 but not 8.1.  Two other machines in the household have WIN 10 and the little red recycle icon appears on both of them when you scroll over an email.  My machine runs 8.1 and has the exact same copy of Office 365 as the other two machines but doesn't.

Thank you for the help.  If you can think of anything else I'd appreciate it.

Tom

Could you please post a screen shot of this icon from one of the machines where its working?  I'd really like to make sure I'm on the same page with you.  Thanks!

They are my adult kids' laptops.  They rarely even let me look at their screens.  Can't imagine what they are hiding from their ole man (hehe).  

Anyway, I have uploaded this pic from my laptop, and the pointer is approx. where the little red icon should appear when you scroll over with the mouse pointer.  If I can bribe one of them I get it but I do not think either one subscribes to the forum.  I'll figure it out.  

Thanks.
