hazelnut,
I could be wrong but I don't think that's a standard option in Windows XP. I think you need this registry hack that adds that option to the settings menu binopt.reg
You are right Glen, I missed that step out.
Good call

Is not being able to remove the "Recycle Bin" from the Desktop some sort of "Windows" Safety-Measure?
Restore Recycle Bin may help?
in tweak ui, go to "Desktop"
