Hide the recycle bin in Windows XP.

Copy and paste below into a ending with a .reg file, double click to run. As always backup the registry and if you aren’t confident of doing this sort of thing…don’t.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]
“{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}”=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
“{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}”=dword:00000001
