Bin in Start Menu
Hi !
Does anybody know how to add the bin in the start menu ?
When I do it, the function to emptying it, doesn't appear... and if the bin is empty or full the icon is the same...
Thanks...

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

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
I'm sorry Brink but due to my poor english, I misspoke !
Infact, I wish the Bin appear in the white part of the start menu... is it possible ?
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 !
I don't understand it doesn't work...
I tried to creat a shortcut for the current user, for all user, for both of them and your draging without success !
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) :
