Hide, Delete, or Destroy the Recycle Bin Icon in Windows Vista

Hide, Delete, or Destroy the Recycle Bin Icon in Windows Vista

I’ve never found the recycle bin on the desktop very useful, so I almost always disable it as one of the first things that I do. Windows Vista has an even simpler way to hide the icon than XP does, but why couldn’t they have disabled it by default?

Just right-click on the icon and select delete from the menu. It’s as simple as that.

Note that you can also configure this from the Desktop Icon Settings in Personalization.

If you’ve removed or lost system icons on your desktop, you can restore them easily.
