I think you need this registry hack that adds that option to the settings menu binopt.reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigathus Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi guys , I thought I was having problems because I had no options to do anything with the Recycle Bin on the Desktop. XP In Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options. On the View tab, under Advanced Settings, do one of the following: Select the Show Recycle Bin icon on the desktop check box to show the icon on your desktop. Clear the Show Recycle Bin icon on the desktop check box to remove the icon from your desktop. Is not being able to remove the "Recycle Bin" from the Desktop some sort of "Windows" Safety-Measure? http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
