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.
Any update to this post? I have found a few workarounds, but they aren't the same as a simple registry edit. I currently use a sidebar gadget for it, and that's a pain in my...
Brink, you are the man, so I'll wait for you.

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.

It appears that Win 7 has a command for emptying the RB now instead of ref'ing a GUID in shellex for the task.
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\empty] "CommandStateHandler"="{c9298eef-69dd-4cdd-b153-bdbc38486781}" "Description"="@shell32.dll,-31332" "Icon"="shell32.dll,-254" "MUIVerb"="@shell32.dll,-10564" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\empty\command] "DelegateExecute"="{48527bb3-e8de-450b-8910-8c4099cb8624}"
Here's the code to place the context menu item at the bottom
Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\empty] "CommandStateHandler"="{c9298eef-69dd-4cdd-b153-bdbc38486781}" "Description"="@shell32.dll,-31332" "Icon"="shell32.dll,-254" "MUIVerb"="@shell32.dll,-10564" "Position"="Bottom" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\empty\command] "DelegateExecute"="{48527bb3-e8de-450b-8910-8c4099cb8624}"
I can upload as reg file if moderators will allow
