Note: The Recycle Bin will only be removed from your Desktop. You can still
access the Recycle Bin from Explorer.

Use regedit and add this key value
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version \
Explorer \ Desktop \ Namespace

Click on Namespace then Edit -- New -- Key
Edit and Modify so that you have the key numbered name above. Include curly 
braces.

You should then have:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Deskto
p\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

You now have to add a name to this key. Click Edit -- New -- Key and add
Name: (Default)
Data: Recycle Bin

You should then see (in the key window on the right)
(Default)       "Recycle Bin"

Exit regedit and re-start Windows

Cross fingers and hope you now have a Recycle Bin on the Desktop (:>)
