Hello MxC!

 

In this guide i will show you how to delete the recycle bin from your desktop.

 

STEP 1 :

 

Open Registry Editor. ( regedit )

 

STEP 2 :

 

In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:

 

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Delete the above key.

 

Note: As always, before making changes to your registry you should always make sure you have a valid backup. In cases where you're supposed to delete or modify keys or values from the registry it is possible to first export that key or value(s) to a .REG file before performing the changes.

 

Close Registry Editor.

 

There is no need to reboot. Just wait a few seconds and see how the icon disappears from the desktop.

 

In order to restore the Recycle Bin icon to the desktop just re-create the missing key (or import it back to the registry in case you've exported it earlier).

 

In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

 

Create the following key:

 

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

 

(just copy/paste, including the brackets).

 

Done!

 

Have Fun ;)
