    You can 'hide' it, or show it ... Show or hide the Recycle Bin

    Hello Nexed,

    In addition to: Desktop Icons - Add or Remove

    You could add it to your taskbar instead.

    That's a feature change I seemed to miss in Windows 7. Accidentally deleting my recycle bin was a common occurrence in Vista.

Is there a way to remove the box around the recycle bin that shows up when the mouse hovers? Also is it possible to remove the text from it, so I only have the icon? Thanks.
