hotdogz Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Hey can any help me with my lost recycle bin? I can't seem to find it anymore. Its as if it doesn't exist on my XP system anymore. I've checked everywhere to try to bring it back and no luck. What I did was accidently changed a reg string and right clicked on the recycle bin, thinking "rename" would be there, but it wasn't. Then i was stupid and click on "delete" and now the recycle bin is gone. Any suggestions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aco Veteran Posted February 11, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 11, 2002 I was going to post this earlier, but I was having trouble logging in. :( Open the registry editor Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerDesktopNameSpace Create a new key named {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} As for renaming the recycle bin: Download and run this registry patch, it should add a "rename" menu option to the recycle bin.

hotdogz Posted February 11, 2002 Author Share Posted February 11, 2002 aco, i tried the zip file and the reg hack inside, but nothing changed. Do you know whats wrong? The "rename" option still doesn't show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skitz.com Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 To rename the recycle bin (just by rightclicking the icon on the desktop, for Win 9x/2k and XP), open regedit and find the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08 -00AA002F954E}ShellFolder. Select this, on the right there's a binary value called Attributes. Rightclick it, 'modify'. Instead of 40 01 00 20 it should read 50 01 00 20 to have a 'rename' option. For a 'delete' option it should read 60 01 00 20 or make it say 70 01 00 20 to have both. Then for it to work in XP delete the dword "callforattributes=00000040" Now you should on closing regedit have the right click options to both rename and or delete the recycle bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
