How to hide Recycle bin in windows xp (Works) Tuesday, August 22, 2006 at 9:31 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Natasha Martin (1 messages posted) This way works. I have tried it. 1 - On Start Menu, choose "Run" and type Regedit. 2 - a) If you are using the XP style start menu: Search for: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel\ b) If you are working with the classic menu: Search for: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu\ 3 - Inside, right click and create a new DWORD-Value with the name "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}". 4 - Right click on the new value, choose 'Modify' and change the Value to "1".
