Rename the Recycle Bin in WinXP
by Jeff Starr on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 – Comments
To rename the Recycle Bin in Windows XP, create a new text.txt file in your favorite directory and add the following lines:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=hex:50,01,00,20"CallForAttributes"=dword:00000000Next, rename the file extension from ".txt" to ".reg" — the other part of the file name may be whatever you prefer (e.g., RecycleBin.reg). Then, double-click the file to have Windows import it into the Registry. Now go right-click your Recycle Bin and use the new option to Rename it.
To remove renaming functionality for the Recycle Bin, replicate the same file you created initially, and replace the last line (i.e., the third line) with the following:
"Attributes"=hex:40,01,00,20"CallForAttributes"=dword:00000000Again, double-click the file to import it into the Registry.
