Renaming Recycle Bin?

See how you go with this>

open regedit and find the key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08 -00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder.

Select this, on the right there's a binary value called Attributes. Rightclick it, 'modify'.

Instead of 40 01 00 20 it should read 50 01 00 20 to have a 'rename' option. In XP, you'll also need to edit the dword string called "CallForAttributes" there. Set it to 0x00000000 (0)

i already did search...couldnt find anything about renaming it

Simple way in XP (same as Hipster Doofus, but less typing):

Copy and paste this into a .txt file...
--------------------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=hex:50,01,00,20
"CallForAttributes"=dword:00000000

--------------------------------------------------------
(don't copy dashed lines, just whats between)

Rename the .txt file to .reg - double click the file, add the info to your registry. Easy as pie.
