Download TweakUI from Microsoft. It has an option to hide the Recycle Bin in there.

Nice Desktops everyone!!!

TweakUI has many other really handy features... it's only a few KB download.

But if you still don't want to, there's a registry entry that you can modify to hide the recycling bin. I don't know exactly what it is, but I know that you can find it in the Unattended Windows section in the Registry Tweaks thread.

EDIT - Oh... and a quick simple search for "Hide Recycle Bin" does the trick too...

if you have XP Pro:

click Start > run > gpedit.msc

click user configuration > adminstrative temlpates > desktop

on the right hand you will find Remove recycle bin

double click on it > enabled

also you will find a lot of other options there...

thanks grafx1,

it worked, even tho i dont have xp pro, i tried it on my media center pc, and it has the option. THANKS!!

@ puner89, yes this is because windows MCE is XP Pro + MC applications.

@ Ivanov : i like your taskbar, i think you had rearranged the toolbars in a new way...?

also, what is this style ? is it Royal ?
