how to get rid of recycle bin
Friday, March 7, 2008 by choja_uk | Discussion: Icons
Hi all...
I'm using Object Dock which has a bin icon, so I don't need one on my desktop... is there a feature in icon packager I can use to turn off the Windows bin (so it's not on my desktop anymore)?
Cheers all.

You can also right click on the desktop, select Arrange Icons By and then select Show Desktop Icons. This will hide all desktop icons. If you are using Object Dock you probably don't have any other than the recycle bin.

Since Choja didn't specify an OS...Don't use TweakUI if you are running Vista...XP only.

TweakUI - XP powertoy from Microsoft, that'll do it.

Hey 'friend', this was posted on WinCustomize and happened to link to the JU forums too.
Why don't you just stick to 'blogging' and leave the skinners alone?

Heres an idea - why don't you left click on the recycle bin and draaaaag that icon into the recycler? then when it says are you sure you want to delete this item, click YES! and then presto! Its gone! Now begone and get a life.

You should see the crap he's laying on JoeUser. I hope he gets banned sooner rather than later.

There's a commercial parody floating around in there somewhere... "'Hi, I'm a MacTroll.' 'And I'm a PCTroll.'"

hmmm, tried the properties hide desktop icons... but there are some icons i want on my desktop - i just wanna get rid of the rubbish bin..
Tried Tweakshell too (yes, XP here) but can't find anything in there that says hide icons... only disable desktop.

Open up TweakUI. Click on "Desktop" on the left - the word itself, not the expand sign next to it. That'll give you the option to toggle the basic Windows icons on and off, including the Recycle Bin. I use it myself rather than "Hide Desktop Icons," as the latter can confluct with DesktopX.

Same, and for some reason when I checked "hide desktop icons" some of my wallpapers displayed all funky. And also, I like to know when stupid programs add icons to my desktop without my permission, that way I can delete them right then and there.

I'm not sure about RightClick, but with Rainlender open it up then right-click on it. Select "Options" from the menu. In the General tab (should be the first one displayed) click on the box next to "enable on Startup." This will put a shortcut into your Startup folder so it opens when Windows boots.
