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.

TweakUI already does that and you won't need to edit the registry, which can screw things up if you don't know what you're doing.

This is a great option as it allows you to edit the registry to give you the choice in the folder options of showing/hiding the recycle bin.

to enable right click to run at windows start, go into the right click properties, click file....general option, then the startup options tab, check the start with windows box.
sometimes right click wont load at startup even with this box checked, so if that happens to you, go to where right click is installed, more than likely it will be in c:/program files/stardock/objectdesktop/rightclick create a short cut to rightclick.exe and place that shortcut in your startup folder.. on XP this is in c:\documents and settings/owner/programs/start menu/startup. hope that helped

Can't you just click on the recycle bin and hit delete on your keyboard? I can't remember if that is possible on XP but it works on Vista

Scroll down to "Add Recycle Bin to Folder Options" and follow the instructions. This is a great option as it allows you to edit the registry to give you the choice in the folder options of showing/hiding the recycle bin.
