Did you know if you follow these simple instructions you can rename your recycle bin? If you rename it to a space then it is possible to make the recycle bin completely invisible (change the icon to "nothing"):
1. Click Start / Run
2. Type regedit and press enter.
3. Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder
4. Open the CLSID folder
5. Open the {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} folder
6. Open the ShellFolder folder
7. Change the "Attributes Data value from "40 01 00 20" to "50 01 00 20". Windows XP users rename this to "70 01 00 20".
