COol HAcks
RENAMING THE RECYCLE BIN
1. Click Start and select Run 2. Then type regedit in the box and click OK 3. When the Registry Editor is started expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, Explorer, CLSID, and {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} folders. 4. When you have expanded the last folder, you should see an entry called (Default) that has no value. Right-click that entry and select Modify. 5. Next, just type Trash Compactor, or any other name, in the box and click OK. 6. Restart your pc to see the changes! ENJOY!

Nice tip, but I usually avoid editing my registry for screwing up my computer if I do something wrong isn't worth it for me. My advice to anyone using regedit is to backup your computer and registry before doing this.

Ive done it to my recycle bin.

General rule of thumb is to *always* back up the registry (do a restore point) when messing with it. Nothing should go wrong, but there's always that one time.

What is the advantage of renaming the Recycle Bin? Is this just a "can do" thing or just fun? I don't understand. Thanks, RevCLB

Yeah, Rev, it's just for fun. There's no reason other than making Windows more the way you want it.

Thanks for the info. I'm not tech smart enough to do this. It is fun lurking on these fourums to learn more. Thanks again, RevCLB
