Instead of hiding the Recycle bin on the Desktop you can also move the Recycle bin to My computer. To show the Recyclebin on Start Menu I use the following tweaks:

[RunOnceEx.AddReg]
;Add Recycle bin to My computer
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}",,0x10
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}",,0x0,"Recycle Bin"
;Add Recycle Bin shortcut to the Start Menu
HKCR,"CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}",,0,"@%%SystemRoot%%\system32\shell32.dll,-8964"

[RunOnceEx.DelReg]
;Remove Recycle bin from Desktop
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"


NOTE: Only tested on Windows XP. I don't add extra options to any Windows menu. As I configure my CD no need to change options afterwards :whistle:

I accidentally installed this in Vista. How do I restore everything so I can install the right one?
Please help :(

It seems all registry entries from this tweak are also modified in the Vista version. I tried removing everything and installing the Vista tweak but Recycle Bin doesn't show on my Start menu, whether the option is checked or not.
Removing it from the desktom works though...

Any ideas?

If you used a registry file (*.reg), then you can add a "-" (minus sign) after all "[" and in front of "HKCU" or HKLM" or whatever it may be and it will delete all those entries.

So for example:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}]
@="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\SHELL32.dll,-8964"
"InfoTip"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\SHELL32.dll,-22915"

would become
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}]
@="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\SHELL32.dll,-8964"
"InfoTip"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\SHELL32.dll,-22915"
