I'm not in windows at the moment - so I can't give you the exact directions to do so - but it's in your display settings - on the.. ugh.. desktop tab I do believe? There's a setting with checkboxes to decide what to or not to show on the desktop - and I'm fairly sure that the recycle bin is there?

Don't remember offhand - like I said, not in XP atm. ^_^

Unfortunatley, Recycle Bin is not one of those desktop icons that XP lets you hide. The only way to hide it, that I know of, is to hide all of your desktop icons. Right click on your desktop, go to "Arrange icons by", and uncheck "Show desktop icons".

the easiest way is to go to microsoft's website and download the xp Powertoys... there is one called tweak ui... which let you do it... that is how I did it myself

jam_uk...If you are using XP Pro do this

start > run > gpedit.msc
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > double click "Remove Recycle Bin From Desktop" on the right, then set to "enabled" and click OK
