Did you ever wanted to rename the "Recycle Bin," and found out that you can't rename it like other files and folders? This works for all Windows except XP.

1. Run "Registry Editor"
(Select "Start | Run," type REGEDIT and press ENTER.)
2. Select "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID"
3. Then select "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"
4. Double click on "(Default)"
5. You'll see the current name of your "Recycle Bin." Simple change it to whatever you want and close the Registry Editor.
6. Return to the Desktop and press F5 to refresh.



To rename the bin in XP, open up an new notepad and enter the following text.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=hex:50,01,00,20

"CallForAttributes"=dword:00000000

Now save this text file as a .reg file, such as "Bin.reg" and put it wherever you like. Double click on the file, and when it asks you if you want to import it into the registry, choose Yes. You'll notice a new option in the right-click menu to Rename the Recycle Bin. You can also rename it by highlighting the Bin and hitting F2, or by highlighting it and
clicking on the file name (just like renaming any other file).


If you want to turn off this new feature, make another .reg file with the
same content as above, but change the first number in the "Attributes"=hex: line from 50 to 40 and import that file into the registry.
