Thanks for the clarification ...now, please go to Start > Run, and type in the following:

It looks like some of your profile files for the navigation pane in Outlook had gotten corrupt, causing the issue.

As for the Recycle Bin, I assume the icon for the same is no longer present on your desktop? If so, what's your operating system?
