Remove or Rename the Recycle Bin from the Desktop

If you don't use the Recycle Bin to store deleted files , you can get rid of its desktop icon all together.

As a precaution, if you have fear about registry, just copy the registry file "regedit.exe" from "C:\Windows\" folder and past anywhere of your place.

Run Regedit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ Microsoft/ Windows/CurrentVersion/explorer/ Desktop/NameSpace

Then search for the string value "Recyclebin".

Click on the "Recycle Bin" string in the right hand pane. Hit Del, click OK.

If you want to restore, just copy the registry file from your folder where you saved before and past to "C:\Windows\". then restart the computer.

How to Rename the Recycle Bin

To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, open Regedit and go to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/ {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

It is very difficult to find the code, right?

No problem, u just copy the code and click to select edit>find; from Menu bar and past to find

and by right click on "Recycle Bin"and select modify option for change the name to whatever you want (don't type any quotes).
Eg:- find this code - 645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E

At last restart the computer..
