Someone here made this suggestion and it worked for me: In Windows XP to change the name of your recycle bin: Open registry. Go to: 1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 2. SOFTWARE 3. Classes 4. CLSID 5. {645FF040-5081-101B etc. 6. Rename LocalizedString to: LocalizedString old. 7. Create new string called LocalizedString. 8. Name it whatever you want. 9. Exit registry. Try it. You'll like it :-)

Thanks, Brent
