| | I think he may mean to the desktop context menu instead. The method used in Vista for this does not work in Windows 7 though.  I'll keep looking to see if I can figure something out that may work though. I'll post back if I find anything. |

| | I would also like to add "empty recycle bin" to the right-click desktop context menu. I have searched the web, but I have been unable to locate a registry script that I can merge into the registry to add this feature. I am familiar with editing the registry, so if anyone knows how to add this feature to the desktop context menu, it would be much appreciated. Joseph Y. |
