Trash bin disappears on some desktops

Just reinstalled new after a move to a SDD with windows 8.1
I use 7 Desktops. At first the trash bin was on every Desktop and after a few days on only two of them (6 and 7).
After reboot sometimes the content of desktop 2 is also on desktop 1.
I also noticed that in the properties of desktop 2 I can change location. In the other desktop folders I can't so there's a difference between 2 and the others.

I run windows 8.1 on a SSD (C:). My programs including Dexpot are on D:
The Desktop files are on E:

What can I do to repair this?
Thanks, Ton

Does the icon return when you right-click on the desktop and select "View > Auto arrange icons"?

Huh?

Do you mean this feature? It should show up for the folder of whichever desktop is currently active.

Auto arrange does not return the trash bin.
After reboot all icons are shuffled kind of random over the desktops.
The features on your prtscn I get only for desktop2.
The other desktops have a different last feature (I have to translate) it's not "Location" but "Change".
You can change the filetype template ..

Ok, found it I think.
Check "Use separate folders for Desktops" seems to do it.
Thanks alot ;)
