Solved rather mundane issue: removing the recycle bin icon from the desktop

[deantaylor]

how would I remove the recycle bin icon from the desktop? I've tried right clicking--no option for its removal is apparent...

thank you
Dean

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

Right-click your desktop and choose Personalize then click Change Desktop Icons, and then uncheck the Recycle Bin before clicking Apply followed by OK.
