Displaying Recyle Bin in My Computer folder in Windows 7 & Vista

You may not want to clutter up your desktop with a Recycle Bin. You perhaps also do not want to pin it to your Start Menu, and yet want easy access to it.

What you can do is place it in the (My) Computer folder, as I always prefer to do.

To do so open regedit and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

Here, create a new key named {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Hit F5 to refresh the registry. Exit registry.

You will see that the Recycle Bin has appeared in your Computer folder.

If you wish, you may download this Registry fix (Password : techresolve.blogspot.com) and double click on it to add it to  your Computer folder.
