Trying for no icons

Hey all,

I'm going for the "icon-free" look on my desktop. I've
managed to get rid of all but one icon, the Recycle Bin.
Any ideas on how to get the icon to disappear? I have
active desktop enabled and the "hide desktop" icon selected,
but the recycle bin reappears every time I reboot. Thanks
in advance.

StartRun and enter REGEDIT

Navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{647BD8C2-658B-4ECA-ABC7-FC5C0BF1704D}

Right click on the {647BD8C2-658B-4ECA-ABC7-FC5C0BF1704D} sub key and select
Delete. Go back to your desktop, right click and select Refresh.

Note I recommend saving registry key first in case you change your mind or wish
to replace the recycle bin at a later stage.
On the File menu, click Export. In the File name box, type RecycleBinKey, and
then click Save.

you to reinstall your operating system. Use the information provided at your own

Hi Fred,

Run this edit. Once done, go to Windows Explorer, scroll down to the
Recycle Bin, highlight it, then go to File/Delete.

Remove the Recycle Bin (Line 115)
