| 539251 | 2007-04-09 03:36:00 | I installed Vista and love it. It is just very tricky if you want to delete the contents of your recycle bin, it is easy to click the -delete icon- line and that is what I did. Now my recycle bin icon is gone and I can not empty the recycle bin anymore. How do I get it back? Cheers johan |

| 539254 | 2007-04-09 09:30:00 | I came across a fix for ensuring you can't delete your recycle bin with Vista. Do not use on XP I have tried it and it works well. Copy the following text and paste it into notepad. Call it anything you like, but add .reg onto the end of the titile I called mine NoRecycleDelete.reg Then save as "all files" . It won't work if you save it as a text file... Then double click on the file and click "yes" to the warning message. Here is a screen shot of the result - no chance of deleteing it again. img124.imagevenue.com Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Delete] @="Search" "Description"=" Search system files" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Delete\command] @=hex(2):25,00,77,00,69,00,6e,00,64,00,69,00,72,00 ,25,00,5c,00,65,00,78,00,70,\ 00,6c,00,6f,00,72,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00 ,65,00,00,00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Delete\ddeexec] @="[FindFolder(\\\"%l\\\", %I)]" "NoActivateHandler"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Delete\ddeexec\Application] @="Folders" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Delete\ddeexec\topic] @="AppProperties" |
