Just want Recycle Bin off of your Desk Top (ie so still available in Explorer)?

Hiding the Recycle Bin
>Listing 1 hides the Recycle Bin. There are different ways to hide the icon, but
this is the best method. It hides the Recycle Bin icon whether you're using the classic
or new Start menu.

>2. Copy Listing 1 to Hidebin.reg, and then double-click the file to import it into
the registry.
>3. Click "OK".

Showbin.reg and copy Listing 2 in to it. Double-click Showbin.reg to restore the
Recycle Bin icon to the desktop.

do that, click anywhere on the desktop, and then press F5.

No, I don't want the bin off my desktop.
Why the copy/paste job.... That's called plagerizing. All you had to do was post
a link. Actually.... nobody asked, so you didn't need to post at all.
