Renaming the Recycle Bin??

To rename the Recycle Bin, acting on the regedit program (As it seems that one cannot rename it in the usual way...)

To manually rename the Recycle Bin (all Windows except XP):

* Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
* Open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ CLSID\ {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} (you can also select Find from the Edit menu, and search for "Recycle Bin.")
* Double-click (Default), and type the new name.
* Press OK and then close the Registry Editor.
* Click on the desktop, and press F5 to refresh the desktop so that this change will take effect.

To manually rename the Recycle Bin (Windows XP only):

* Right-click the Recycle Bin icon and select Properties.

Cheers!!

I actually renamed my recycle bin to 'Hell'. So that when I want to delete a file, the prompt will go "Are you sure you want to send (filename) to Hell?"

Heheh, cool...
