Rename the Recycle Bin
To rename the
Recycle Bin to something more interesting, such as 'Garbage,' 'Trash,' or 'My Aching Stomach,' follow the following directions:
To add the
Rename option to the
Recycle Bin's context menu (all Windows except XP):
- Download the Rename Recycle Bin Registry Patch (1k)
- Double-click on add rename to recycle bin.reg to make the change - it should take effect immediately.
- You'll then be able to rename the Recycle Bin the same way you rename any file (such as right-clicking on it and selecting Rename)
- You can also double-click on add delete to recycle bin.reg to add the delete item as well (see Get Rid of the Recycle Bin for more information).
To manually rename the
Recycle Bin :
- 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. (More information.)
- Note: Norton Utilities also includes a feature to make it easy to change the name or the icon for the Recycle Bin, but it's not as nice as the first solution here.
- Note: This setting can also be changed with TweakUI.
