d10p Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hey all, I have the Recycle Bin on my Y'z Dock, so I want to remove it from the desktop. However, you can't remove it off the destkop or the applet won't work. Is there a way just to hide it from the desktop? I've tried searching and found this guide that doesn't work (some registry settings didn't exist). Thanks in Advanced!

d10p Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hmmm...it seemed to work without affecting the dock...weird, it always screws up. Well, if a problem comes, I'll just find a .reg edit or something.

G4M3R Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Use TweakUI from Microsoft :) www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/ pro/downloads/powertoys.asp Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/165601-hiding-recycle-bin/#findComment-2085467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 here is a way you can remove the recycle bin from the desktop.oh... i dont know how to "hide" it... REMOVE RECYCLE BIN go to Run > gpedit.msc Then, under "User Configuration" go to Administrative Templates then Desktop. Then, get "Properties" on "Remove Recycle Bin icon from Desktop", enable it, and voila. No external programs needed. edit: sorry, i should go to bed now :blush: :sleep: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/165601-hiding-recycle-bin/#findComment-2085478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
