Hi,

I am new to Windows XP and would like to know how I can hide the recycle bin

It's not too too hard to do so long as you're comfortable editing the
registry, try this site for the directions:

Delete the Recycle Bin Icon from the Desktop in XP/2003:

Hi

I got these (I think from either Doug Knox or Kelly's Korner, can't
remember which)& used one to hide the recycle bin on a standalone XP
system at work to prevent operators messing around.
Cut & paste the text into notepad, save as hidebin.reg then double
click to install.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMe nu]
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

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

Cut & paste into notepad & save as showbin.reg then double click to
install.

Hi 'CReWdog',

I have, today, succesfully installed 'Hidebin.reg' and 'Binopt.reg'

Would you know if these files can be delete?

(I can't imagine that Registry would call these files when the user
whish to show or hide the recycle bin, as the files' content have been
added to the Registry.)

I found information on 'Hidebin.reg' and 'Binopt.reg' at:
'Customizing Your PC with the Windows XP Registry'
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...t_02september=
16.mspx

Thanks and Regards,
