The simplest way with 2000 is to download and install TweakUI for 2000 and then run it. Once it's open, click on the Desktop tab and right click on the Recycle Bin icon and click on Rename....enter whatever name you want, hit Enter and click Apply.

Here are another couple of ways to rename the Recycle Bin.

First, be sure to *Back up your Registry* then:

I quickly noticed upon installing Win2kPro that the old "rename the Recycle Bin" trick didn't work. Here's how I found to do in Win2kPro: #1 BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY! #2 Rename the key "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}" #2.5 You may or may not have to change the value of "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder\Attributes" from "40 01 00 20" to "30 01 00 20". (This is the method I used in 98SE to add the Rename command to the Recycle Bin context menu.) #3 As, the context menu (Right-click menu) for the Recycle Bin should now contain the Rename command, all you need do is right-click the Recycle Bin and select Rename (go figure). #4 Return all keys and values to their former states and reboot. You're good to go. (The rebooting shouldn't be necessary, but I had trouble getting the Delete and Rename commands to disappear from the Recycle Bin context menu without a reboot.) Good luck; remember to back up first.

this works on xp 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 . Windows XP users rename this to "70 01 00 20". after you change the 40 to 70 then right click on the recycle bin then goto EXPLOER HIGHTLIGHT THE REYCYCLE BI CLICK ON FILE RENAME DONE IF YOU DON'T WANT A NAME JUST THE ICON Make sure the NumLock key in on. Hold down the Alt key while typing 0160 on your number pad. 4. After typing in 0160, let go of the Alt key. You’ll see a blank space inserted with your cursor. 5. Press Enter to save the new name.
