Recycle Bin tweak?

[Fenris]

Im trying to use XP without any icons on the desktop just using quicklaunch and so forth. Ive goten rid of every icon but the darn recycle bin. Is there any way to delete this off of the desktop? i plan on putting it in the start menu.

Add this registry value

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} REG_DWORD 0x00000001

to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel
or/and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu

If any of the above keys isn't there, create it.

download this, in it is TweakUI, run that and click desktop and then you can add and remove desktop icons

XP PowerToys

Also that right click on the desktop hides all icons on your desktop even any folders that you might put on there
