Recycle bin

June 28, 2008 12:08:56 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

 I have installed ObjectDock for the first time and boy do I like it. I am running v.190, build 534 on Win XP Pro SP3.

I would like to remove the old recycle bin icon from my desktop. I know it has to be simple, but I just haven't figured it out.

Please help a newbe out!

 

Thanks!

when you right click on your desktop and select properties it's in there... I've only been Vista a few months and already forgot how to use XP....

there should be a tab that says desktop, and then a button inside that tab that says advanced, or something to that effect...

Go to START > RUN

Type GPEDIT.MSC

Navagate to USER CONFIGURATION >ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES >Click on DESKTOP,

On the right hand pane find " Remove Recycle Bin icon on the desktop " , double left click on it to ENABLE it.

That is ofcourse if you use XP pro.
Note: If you cant delete ur recycle bin after that action, restart ur pc.

Would definitely recommend that method.
