Renaming the Recycle Bin

As others have noted, the procedure for changing the name of the Recycle Bin only works for Windows 95/98. On a system running ME, you should not only change what is described in the article, but also the default key in the following section: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}. At this location, rename the default key to the new name. This might be another possible solution. If this doesn't work, replace most instances of "Recycle Bin" with the new name. DO NOT replace any instances that are part of a "dll" string.
