In Internet Properties : Temporary Internet files, set Amount of disk space to use to 6 MB.

I use this, mine is 10meg

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\Cache\Content]
"CacheLimit"=dword:00002800

View – Remove the checkmark from Hide extensions for known file types.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"HideFileExt"=dword:00000000

the Recycle Bin icon Configure drives independently Set the Maximum size of Recycle Bin (percent of drive) to 1.

Mine is set at 5%

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket]
"Percent"=dword:00000005
"UseGlobalSettings"=dword:00000000

Keys will also be created for each drive\ partiton, unsure what they are for, this is C:\

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\c]
"NeedToPurge"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket]

"Percent"=dword:00000005

"UseGlobalSettings"=dword:00000000

this doesn't seem to change my recycle bin percentage

and now i can't use the slider because it is greyed out. help I think am screwed.

I still can't change the percentage of space of the recycle bin. I really need to automate this setting?.

It's driving me mental

Thanks to anyone who can give me a hand.

hey man

change this to 1 instead of 0

"UseGlobalSettings"=dword:00000001

0 = disabled..

1 = enabled..

Try this for configure drives independantly

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket]
"UseGlobalSettings"=dword:00000000

and this to set C:\ drive to 1%

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\c]
"Percent"=dword:00000001

You can backup the keys after you have set the drive limits, and can also Set "Do not move files to the recycle bin" to unchecked

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\c]
"NukeOnDelete"=dword:00000000

there will be an entry for each drive\partition thats is on your system.

Thank you!
