Unhappy Lost recycle bin and "my computer" folder

I totally messed everything up. I was trying a new thing to put everything in the quick launch tool bar, and I figured out how to put everything down there. But I was stupid and wasn't paying attention to when I went to empty my recycle bin and hit delete in stead of empty and now it's gone. I have no idea where it went. I tried searching for it but I came up with nothing. Also I managed to put my computer down in the tool bar as well (bf did that for me don't know what he did), I tried to drag it back up to the desk top and now it's gone too! When I draged it up it became a weird window I didn't know what to do with it, it wouldn't drag back down to the tool bar so I closed it (I know stupid) and it said you are closing a tool bar continue? I said yes. I can find my computer but it's empty.....

So my recycle bin and My computer is gone.

Please help me fix this!!!!

the first thing that comes to mind, and would be the fastest and easest to run is the system restore, and have it restore to a date before you deleted things.
I know you said that the my computer and the recycle ben are gone, so you should still be able to do the restore from the system tools.
