My Recycle Bin

[Mr. Sushi]

I use Tweakui for XP..... Try and search for 'Powertoys for XP' There you can remove it from the desktop... I ain't never heard of another way....

go into the registry and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\mircosoft\windows\current verison\explorer\desktop\name space

and then look in there for one that says recycle bin and delete the entire key. The changes take effect immeaditly just refresh your desktop

 

[Mr. Sushi]

is there any way i can just disable it? or take it off and have the option of putting it back?

Yes , u can select an aoption : Remove files without putting them into Recycle bin . With reg. keys u can disable it but not enable it then .

Just use tweakui.exe as mentioned above:
Download tweakui.exe

1. start/run
2. Type "tweakui.exe"
3. Make your way to Desktop
4. Uncheck The recycling bin.


To put it back just do 1-3 and check the recyclin bin.

[Mr. Sushi]

what is tweakui? and will it effect all usernames or just mine?

TweakUI is one of the PowerToys made by M$.
What you need to get is TweakUI for Windows XP

You can follow this link:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

It will basically allow you to customize your OS without venturing into the registry.
Some changes (those that modify anything under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in the registry) will affect all users, while others (that make changes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER) will only affect your user account.

Good luck! 🙂
