| | Hello Scoubi, and welcome to Seven Forums. You could drag and drop the desktop Recycle Bin into one of the hidden folders below to have it show up in your Start Menu All Programs area as a shortcut with the "Empty..." option. Current user only: C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs All users: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu Hope this helps, Shawn Last edited by Brink; 15 Dec 2010 at 10:56 PM..

| | Tanks for your answer but it doesn't work... For the second path : it's not the location where I want that the bin appear. For the first : I restarted my computer but the bin not appear... Is it normal that in your path it's writed "Internet Explorer" ? |

| | Sorry, had the wrong path somehow. Try the correct path above instead.  If you didn't want it in the All Programs area in the Start Menu, then you might consider having the Recycle Bin pinned to the taskbar instead if you like. Recycle Bin - Pin to Taskbar |

| | Hello Scoulbi7 an easy way to place the recycle bin on the Start menu or (white part) is to drag the recycle bin icon to the start menu button (see fig 1) and wait until the "pin to start menu" dialogue appears under the recycle bin icon then release the left mouse button and the recycle bin should now be in your start menu (fig 2).

| | IownAmoneyPit, with this method the problem is it's not possible to empty the Bin when doing a right click ! |

| | In post #2 use the path given by Brink to create the shortcut in the all programs part of the menu and the empty recycle bin context will be available. (see photo)  |

| | No, I'm sorry, I misspoke another time ! It's this white part of the Start menu where I want that the Bin appear (the one with big icons) :  |
