I did a complete computer search for "recycle bin" and nothing showed up, but all of the stuff i'm deleting is going SomeWhere; I just don't know where.
Can you tell me where to go to get it back?

1) Launch regedit (See more details on starting regedit)
2) In Regedit, navigate to the following key:
HKCR\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
3) To create a new registry Key called 'Shell', click on the Edit Menu, New, select: Key and name it 'Shell'. You should now have:
HKCR\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\Shell
3) Under Shell create a new (Sub) Key called 'Delete'. Click on the Edit Menu, New, select: Key. You should now have:
HKCR\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\Shell\Delete
4) Edit the 'Default' REG_SZ, as this is just a string value for display you could set to anything you like, for example 'YourName's Indestructible Bin'.
Conclusion
What you have done is replace a working function called 'Delete', with a cosmetic label called Xyz's Indestructible Bin. The sole purpose is to prevent users pressing 'Delete' and thus losing their Recycle Bin.
