trash bin menu

When I click on the trash bin with right mouse button, I accidently chose
"make short cut". I just wanted to empty the trash bin.
I wonder... what in heavens name is the use of making more trash bin short
cuts???

There is a issue in the modular-transwarp floating facility. You will
have to spin the emergency indicator using a quasilevel otherwise the
malfunctioning reptocompass will misbehave. You may need a new
bio-medical hyperlinker. Check the circulation of the hexijig mode.
Also coil the omega-input rummaging transporter if necessary.

No. No. Nadega has it entirely backwards. Follow the steps but do
exactly the reverse or the glipsammer will fail catastrophically, and
you know what that means.

(Seriously, see below.)

Seriously, I can see very little point in making extra short cuts to the
recycle bin (I think "trash bin" might be Apple-speak); however, whoever
wrote the right-click menu didn't think it worth writing a special
version just on the offchance you might use it on the recycle bin rather
than things for which making shortcuts _are_ useful, so it remains.

In Apple-land, it's the trash can. Shrug.

It doesn't really how useless it might be; if it wasn't available, someone
would complain.

For one thing, the Recycle Bin object normally displayed on the desktop
is not a shortcut. It is a shell object (aka shell extension) defined
in the registry, not a .lnk file for a shortcut on the desktop.
Right-clicking on a shell object does not give you a Properties of a
..lnk shortcut file. It gives you the panel(s) defined in the registry
or within the resources of the handler.

Another thing is that the desktop is itself a folder. So you have a
shell object for the Recycle Bin in a folder called Desktop under your
user profile folder (%userprofile%). It is a special folder so shell
objects can be added to it. Other shell objects you may have added to
the Desktop folder are [My] Computer and Network. Those are not
shortcuts (.lnk files). Awhile back in some prior version of MS Office,
Outlook was added to the Desktop folder but as a shell object, not as a
shortcut file. It confused many users who thought all the icons on
their desktop were shortcuts just because that's how users add them. In
my instance of Windows, the Recycle Bin shell folder object is defined
at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}. The
class ID is probably the same for your Windows. You can use Nirsoft's
Shell Extension Viewer to see them. Be careful with that tool. It is
not just a viewer and you could end up altering stuff you should not
touch or results in some behavior you don't want or wanted but lost.

For another thing, who says you won't want a shortcut to the Recycle Bin
put in a different folder? Part of Windows lure to many users is the
many ways they can tweak that OS, so much so that lots of authors have
written lots of tweakers and enhancements to address all this fluff in
customizing Windows. When you right-click on the Recycle Bin shell
folder (not a shortcut) and use the Create New Shortcut entry in the
context menu, you do get a shortcut (.lnk file). Now you can move it
anywhere you want, like into a different folder. I know folder that
detest having icons on their desktop. So they could create a Start menu
subfolder, say, called WinTools, and put a shortcut to the Recycle Bin
in that folder and then use the Personalization wizard to remove the
shell folder from the Desktop folder. However, because it is now just a
shortcut (instead of a shell object), right-clicking and selecting
Properties will NOT display the panel(s) available for the shell object,
just the standard properties for a .lnk file.

I wonder what happens if you drag the recycle-bin shortcut into the
recycle bin. Is that like typing "Google" into Google?

(The latter, as all true geeks know, will break the Internet.)

I don't foresee any problems in dragging the Recycle
Bin shortcut into the Recycle Bin--provided the
Recycle Bin and the shortcut don't shake hands
with each other.

"The discovery of the positron in 1932 confirmed
[Paul] Dirac's theory and led to his being awarded
the Nobel Prize for physics in 1933. We now know
that every particle has an antiparticle, with which it
can annihilate. (In the case of the force-carrying
particles, the antiparticles are the same as the
particles themselves.)

"There could be whole antiworlds and antipeople made
out of antiparticles. However, if you ever meet
your antiself, don't shake hands! You would both
vanish in a great flash of light."
