Anyone Know How To Find The Recycle Bin On Windows XP?

I just bought a used PC. It is running Windows XP Professional. I don't have the CD. Does anyone know where I can find the recycle bin?

The recycle bin is always located on the desktop ... by default it is in the lower right corner of the desktop. If you dont find it, you can just hit delete to delete a selected item.

Norton Security software might also have that Norton protected recycle bin thingy which replaces the standard Windows recycle bin. Perhaps a Norton install/uninstall gone wrong?
