I have a solution for Get Rid of the Recycle Bin:

ok, i see alot of you are getting confused as to why the bin isn't giving you the "delete" option after you have downloaded the registry hack. to put it quite simply:- this registry hack will not work for XP. Heres what you do: AFAIK, this only works with XP Pro Go to START > RUN Type GPEDIT.MSC Navagate to USER CONFIGURATION >ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES >Click on DESKTOP,


On the right hand pane find " Remove Recycle Bin icon on the desktop " , double left click on it to ENABLE it. Sorted! (you will need to logout of windows and log back in to see the changes.) Hope this helps!

Personally, I can't understand why MS included Delete in the right click options for the Recycle Bin in Vista.

I've been using Vista for just over a month now and I've already accidentally deleted the Recycle Bin instead of emptying it 3 or 4 times already. Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Thanks, seriously. I was getting frustrated at all the contradictions. It's just XP Pro, isn't it? And this is pretty cool... I never knew I could mess with these little options in the Admin Tools. I never thought to look...
