How To Delete Your Recycle Bin
If you're like me, you
appreciate the clean desktop that XP offers. Unfortunately, one item remains:
the Recycle Bin. You can't get rid of it through any menus or anything like
that. After much hacking around in the registry, I finally found the responsible
key. Simply Go Registry by typing regedit in run and following path and delete
this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA00 2F954E} and
restart. When you restart, the Recycle Bin is no longer on the desktop.
When you delete stuff, it still prompts to
send it to the Recycle Bin, as always. To fully delete something, just delete
it from C:\Recycled. or C:\Recycler (name depends on file system). To view this
folder, you have to have everything set to be seen, including hidden folders
and procted OS files and all that. Enjoy this handy tweak! :)
Alternatively instead of deleting the key mentioned above you can go
to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel
and change the value for {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}to

you delete it, in case you change your mind.”
