What I doing wrong... disabling Recycle Bin properties

[xchatbot]

I got a simple wish on my Win2k SP4. Okay, maybe more wishes, but let's start with this one. I want to disable the properties menu on the Recycle Bin. To do that, one need a (at least in theory) very simple register tweak:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoPropertiesRecycleBin"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\Explorer]

"NoPropertiesRecycleBin"=dword:00000001

That is backed up by many sites on the net, like there: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win2000/t1187882607

And it is even backed up by very own M$ info: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserve...3.mspx?mfr=true

Now imagine my shock that this simply does NOT work for me. Anyone can explain/help me out there?

However I also wished in the cursed Recycle Bin to get rid of the second useless menu, the one that goes "Create shortcut" ... And I did not find anything that can help me.

Buy maybe someone do?

Did you try using gpedit.msc as they mention?

Change Method

To change the value of this entry, use the Group Policy Object Editor (Gpedit.msc). The corresponding policy is located in Administrative Templates\Desktop.

If that's an exact copy and paste from your .reg file then you have an extra space you don't need. "Curr entVersion" should be "CurrentVersion". Don't blame Microsoft on your lack of proof reading.
