How do you remove the recycle bin icon on my desktop?

I want to be able to access it but I don't want it on my desktop.

If you want no icons just right click > view > show desktop icons

Google it if you want to remove the icon, I dont remember off the top of my head.  Also, XP?

I tried that, did fuck all...

I did everything right, and yeah - XP.

I want some icons, just not that one.

you probably have to make that registry key read only after you remove the entry so windows can't re-create it.

I got it sorted by fucking around with the registry keys, thanks anyway.

Do yourself a favor and download tweakUI anyways, it does a lot more of that type of stuff and a lot more easily than messing with the registry keys.

It can disable balloon tips from the system tray for example.

Agreed. Used it in XP but does it work with newer OS?

I don't believe so, but in 7 I'm pretty sure you can remove the Recycle Bin icon where you can generally remove My Computer, etc.

yeah unfortunately you can't do it in XP like you can in vista.  i thought that at first too, but then found out xp doesn't have that as one of the options.
