Hide Recycle Bin Windows XP

BEFORE EDITING THE REGISTRY ALWAYS TAKE A BACK-UP INCASE SOMETHING
GOES WRONG! To take a Registry backup, open Registry Editor Go to
File>Export and Export the whole registry, it takes around 200-250MB
Space, for good measure, try to take a back up on a external device
like, Portable HDD, Thumb Drive or CD/DVD.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Open Notepad By Going to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Notepad
Copy Paste This Into it:

Code:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\M$\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\M$\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\M$\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001
Now Save The File As Hidebin.reg after saving, Right Click on the file
and select 'merge' or just double click on the file. Refresh and No
more Recycle Bin!

If you want to bring it back, Open Notepad and Copy paste this:

REGEDIT4
