Get rid of Trash Bin

Saturday, September 20, 2008 by mothergoose729 | Discussion: OS Customization

Ok, I have grown really fond of objectdock. I have my start bar hidden and have gone "icon less" by placing them all in directories or one of my objectdocks. I can't seem to get rid of the default desktop recycle bin icon, which is a major eyesore on an otherwise clean looking desktop. Who can I get rid of this icon? Would it be easier to alter windows, or to simply replace it with an invisible icon?

You can use TweakUI by Microsoft to hide the recycle bin on XP.

I just right click desktop > arrange icons by > uncheck 'show desktop icons' and they all disappear (including recycle bin)

Thanks for the responses. Bichur, when I tried your method my background disappeared. Bebi, is there a 32bit version of that program?

Thanks for the responses. I downloaded a 32bit version of UI tweak and it is now working well.
