| | Hello Msongs, You can right click on the Recycle Bin and create a shortcut for it, then move that shortcut to the Start Menu All Programs area. Afterwards, you can remove the Recycle Bin icon from the desktop to have a clear desktop. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Solved! I was as annoyed as you were about this and just now found a perfect workaround to put the recycle bin to the taskbar. So I thought I would go through the trouble of registering to this forum to share it with you. On this forum I found a way how to get old Quick Launch back: Quick Launch - Enable or Disable " Quick Launch Toolbar. Windows 7 made an attempt to remove the quick launch. There is still a way to bring it back in current builds. To re-enable it, do the following: * Right-click the taskbar, choose Toolbars / New Toolbar * In the folder selection dialog, enter the following string and hit OK: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch * Turn off the “lock the taskbar” setting, and right-click on the divider. Make sure that “Show text” and “Show title” are disabled and the view is set to “small icons”. * Use the dividers to rearrange the toolbar ordering to choice, and then lock the taskbar again. " After doing this you can easily place recycle bin or any other icon there. The bin works just fine so you can drag and drop anything there to delete it.

| | His link is to our Brinks own tutorial. I think he was just indicating to the OP that there was a another alternative than Brinks suggestion. He could have just left the link, of course, without the copied contents. |
