Remove the Recycle Bin from the Desktop

If you don’t use the Recycle Bin to store deleted files , you can get rid of its desktop icon all together. Run Regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/explorer/Desktop/NameSpace Click on the “Recycle Bin” string in the right hand pane. Hit Del, click OK.
