How-To: Recycle Bin on the Start Menu
By Cygnus, Tom, VA(s)T & ricktendo64 NOTE: Also adds "Show Recycle Bin icon on desktop" to Folder Options, Show/Hide "Recycle Bin" to Start Menu Properties I got it to work. Heres what I got it to put the Recycle Bin icon on the start menu using the Manufacturer Link in the registry.

Firstly, here are some snippets of script.
VBScript CODE WScript.CreateObject("Shell.Application").Explore "::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" JScript CODE new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application").Explore("::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"); Secondly, here is a completed working solution Open_Bin.exeJust double click it and either reboot explorer or switch from new to old startpanel and back again to see the result. Note The entry is for only the current user as should all tweaks of this type. Happy New Year! <Edit> I have created another 'all users' version Recycler.exe using your full reg file as its basis. </Edit>
Attached File(s)

Had you checked my offering you would have noted that is how I'd done it too!
I just prefered to supply it in an easy to install SFX in order to prevent possible mistakes by the user. |

is it possible to add such a thing to the link in the start menu
untitled.JPG ( 5.27K )
Number of downloads: 20Because the current start menu icon has this only
untitled.JPG ( 32.08K )
Number of downloads: 18I do not mean the open function only, but I mean the menu that being used with right click, or at least Empty RB function Thanks This post has been edited by MGadAllah: Dec 31 2006, 06:42 PM |

That's one of the things that I do most commonly--keep the bin clean. I've been trying to find this in the registry but have been unsuccessful as of yet. |

Dude, we are talking about adding "Empty Recycle Bin" to the Recycle Bin in Start Menu, not to EVERY folder, EVERY file, etc. That's unnecessary.

Albinohawk already posted this in Vista section. Apparently, this is an old trick and is possible in Vista. In Vista he's replaced the "Default Programs" with Recycle Bin.
