Empty Recycle Bin

Does anybody know

How to add "Empty Recycle Bin" to the Right Click context menu in windows7

Isn't it already there?

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.

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
