Fully Functioning Recycle Bin On Taskbar


Recommended Posts

I don't know if this has been mentioned at all, apologies if it has...

Works perfectly for me on my RC 7100 (64-bit) and is fully functional:

Here's How:

1. Make sure the Recycle Bin is on the desktop.

2. Right click on the desktop and select New and Folder , then rename it anything you like. (i.e. Trash Bin)

3. Drag & drop the Recycle Bin on the new Folder to create a shortcut.

4. Save the new Folder (containing Recycle Bin shortcut) to the directory of your choice (i.e. C:\Trash Bin) by dragging and dropping.

5. UnLock the taskbar.

6. Right-click on the taskbar and select Toolbar and New toolbar...

7. Navigate to the location you saved the New Folder (Ex: Trash Bin), select it and click on the Select Folder button.

8. This places the new Toolbar and a Separator (dotted lines) on the taskbar.

9. Right click on the Separator and uncheck Show Text and Show Title.

10. Right click on the Separator and select View and Large Icons.

11. You now have the Recycle Bin pinned to the taskbar.

12. To Keep the Recycle Bin on Right Side of Taskbar -

A) Left click on the Separator to the left of the folder and hold, then drag it to the left and right to make any adjustments to how you want the Recycle Bin positioned on the right side of the taskbar.

B) Release the left click when done.

C) Lock Taskbar

13. To Have the Recycle Bin on Left Side of Taskbar -

A) Left click on the Separator of the pinned taskbar programs on the far left side and hold, then drag it to the right past the Recycle Bin and release.

B) Left click on the Separator of the pinned taskbar programs on the now right side and hold, then drag it to the left next to the Recycle Bin and release.

c) Lock Taskbar

Thats actually a good idea, thanks! I never thought of doing that. The only thing I don't like is how it raises everything up off of the bottom of the screen.

Same here. That's the only drawback, a few pixels off. I like the idea for sure. I can live with it until someone comes up with a better way, though.
