You can rename
most anything on the Windows desktop by
right-clicking its icon and selecting the Rename
option. But the Recycle Bin doesn't have that
option. Both Regedit and TweakUI make this easy
to do. |

Here's the Regedit way:
| 1. |
Open Regedit (select Run
in the Start menu and enter regedit in the text box). |
| 2. |
Left click the + sign
beside "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" and locate CLSID (the Class ID option). Scroll down to the
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} key and click the folder. |
| 3. |
In the right-hand window,
double-click (Default), and change the name from Recycle Bin to whatever you prefer. |
| 4. |
Click OK |
| 5. |
You can also change the
Tip Info as well if you like. Double click on tip
info in the right hand window and change the text
to anything you would like. Tip Info is brought
up when you hover on the Recycle Bin icon on your
desktop and it gives you a brief description of
what the recycle bin is about
(Make it something
entertaining) |
| 6. |
Click OK. |
| 7. |
Exit Regedit. |
| 8. |
To make the new name take
effect, click once anywhere on the desktop, then press the F5 key. |
And here's the TweakUI way:
| 1. |
Select Start/Settings/Control Panel and launch TweakUI. |
| 2. |
Under Desktop, right-click Recycle Bin and select Rename. |
| 3. |
Type in the new name and click OK. |
