Renaming the Recycle Bin

Renaming the Recycle Bin

Ever wanted to rename your recycle bin? Who wouldn't? Well, it's pretty simple, the bare bones of it are just typing in commands to the registry.
  • What you do is, copy this information (in bold) to notepad or something similar. (Start-->All Programs-->Accessories-->Notepad).
  • REGEDIT4
  • [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder]"Attributes"=hex:50,01,00,20"CallForAttributes"=dword:00000000
  • Once you have that copied into NotePad, save it as something like "Recyclebin.reg" (without the quotations).
  • Then, find whereever you saved it, click on it, say yes, and BAM!
  • Then whenever you want to rename it just right-click and select rename!
    That's it!
