How do i pin the recycle bin yo the start menu... tried it but it doesn't show empty recycle bin option

Are you using the standard recycle bins, or icons from another file?

Hello Dregatar,

You will not be able to pin the same Recycle Bin shortcut created in the tutorial and have a option to pin it to the Start Menu. Only to the taskbar as it was intended in the tutorial.

Instead, you will only be able to pin the default Recycle Bin on the desktop to the Start Menu. As you discovered, it has no "Empty Recycle Bin" context menu option though.

Sorry, but if you do not want the Recycle Bin on the Desktop, you will have to have it pinned to the taskbar as in the tutorial to have the "Empty Recycle Bin" option.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hello SicklySlick, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Sorry, but no it currently cannot be removed.

Hello SicklySlick,

Yes, at step 10, you can select (check) to use Small Icons instead if you like. :)

i meant cant we change the the recycle bin icon (like use a different icon, not using the small icon option) that is 40pixels high? would that solve the problem?

I have not tried it to see how it looks, but yes you can change the Recycle Bin icon to another one to see if it may help.

Hello Gohardsupreme,

Does moving the Recycle Bin around to a different location on the taskbar make any difference, or using a small icon instead?
