Invisible Recycle Bin on Desktop

I searched but didn't see anyone else asking this question, so here I go. I like a clean desktop, but like being able to drag and drop desktop files in the trash when I'm done with them. In Vista I made my Recycle Bin icon invisible by using a shortcut to the Recycle Bin and then using a transparent icon (along with a registry tweak to get rid of the shortcut icon).

In Windows 7, when I do this, a black square appears where the transparent icon should be.

Any idea why this happens, and if there's a way around it?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I might be doing this wrong, but I right-clicked on the installer and selected the compatibility tab, then chose XP, but it wouldn't run. I then unzipped the installer and did the same for the TweakUI executable...same thing. Am I doing something wrong?

Could it have anything to do with the fact I'm on Windows 7 64-bit?

Any other thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Did that, no luck.

Thanks for trying. I'll check back later to see if anyone else has any ideas.

I use these recycle bin registry hacks. They work for me in Windows 7.
