Opening an item in the Recycle Bin

Question: I tried to open something that I placed in the Recycle Bin and nothing happened.

Answer: You can’t open an item while it’s in the Recycle Bin. You have to get it out of the Recycle Bin first. If you want to keep the item and want to file it back where it was, right-click on the item in the Recycle Bin and select Restore. If you just want to take a look at it, drag it out onto your desktop and open it. Then you can drag it back to the Bin. Note: If you Restore something after you’ve dragged it out to the Desktop and then back to the bin, the item will be restored to the Desktop because that’s the last place it was.
