How To Delete Your Recycle Bin

If you're like me, you appreciate the clean desktop that XP offers.
Unfortunately, one item remains: the Recycle Bin. You can't get
rid of it through any menus or anything like that. After much
hacking around in the registry, I finally found the responsible key.

Simply Go Registry by typing regedit in run and following path
and delete this

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\C
urrentVersio n\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\ {645FF040-5081-
 101B-9F08-00AA00 2F954E} and restart. When you restart, the
Recycle Bin is no longer on the desktop.

When you delete stuff, it still prompts to send it to the Recycle
Bin, as always. To fully delete something, just delete it from
C:\Recycled. or C:\Recycler (name depends on file system). To
view this folder, you have to have everything set to be seen,
including hidden folders and procted OS files and all that. Enjoy
this handy tweak! :)

Alternatively instead of deleting the key mentioned above you can
go to:

    · HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
       CurrentVersion\
       Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel
    · and change the value for {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-
       00AA002F954E}to 1
