anyone know how to remove the recycle bin from the desktop, and possibly throw it in the start menu instead. (or make the recycle bin hidden)
winxp(home)
1. Drag and drop your recycle bin into your start menu.
2. Open Notepad and copy/paste the following and save as “hidebin.reg”
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIcons]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIconsClassicStartMenu]
“{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}”=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIconsNewStartPanel]
“{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}”=dword:00000001
Click the file to hide the Recycle Bin from the desktop.
3. To show the recycle bin again, copy/paste the following into Notepad and save as “showbin.reg”
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIcons]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIconsClassicStartMenu]
“{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}”=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIconsNewStartPanel]
“{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}”=dword:00000000
Click to enable the Recycle Bin again on the Desktop.
… or you could just put it in the recycle bin? 😉
if you use winxp, click right (mouse) find show icon, unselec show icon on destop or you can use Tweak Ui ->desktop and chose which icons you want to show on your desktop
or click right(mouse)->propertieseffectshide icon when the desktop…. (hope I works)
Tweak UI is obviously the best choice as it is ‘ fool proof ‘ and simple to do.
‘Proof of fools’ is not where we want to be at this time.
When it is easy andy simple….. then accept it.
