You used it on Vista. This reg tweak is for XP only right now. I haven't had the time to try and make it work for Vista, but maybe theres someone who can convert it to Vista for you.

You did nothing wrong, if you want work copy your inf file to C:\WINDOWS\inf and try again

very nice ! ...
but with the first try, when I click on the recycle bin icon, I had a message from Windows Explorer that the access root doesn't exist or it not in the repertory.
I tweak XP to hide the recycle bin on my desktop, so I re-edit to show it and now it working !
afaik this will not work if you tweak XP to hide the recycle bin on your desktop.

Now if you want an easy way to change the recycle bin icon in the start menu, just use "ActivIcons" (freeware)

on default system icons, scroll down and click on the icon under @%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL.. and Change Icon
this one will change the icon in the start menu. ;)

Excuse me, Could you make this tip (The Recycle Bin on Start menu) in a .reg form, please?
Or could you show me how I can make it?

Thanks in advice, It's a cool tip!! ;)

I was trying to install the .inf file then reboot system, but an error message appears.
(I'm using XP-SP2).

Its pretty easy, just edit this line and add any infotip you like

[RecycleBin.AddReg]
; ### Add Recycle Bin shortcut to the Start Menu
HKCR,"CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}",,0,"@%%SystemRoot%%\system32\SHELL32.dll,-8964"
HKCR,"CLSID\{2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}","InfoTip",0,"@%%SystemRoot%%\system32\SHELL32.dll,-22915."

No, man... Didn't work... I think that this problem appears because I use WindowsXP-SP2 (BUT IN SPANISH).
The "Recycle Bin" Doesn't show on my Start Menu.


Do you think that changing the name "Recycle Bin" for "Papelera de Reciclaje" (name in Spanish) fix this error?
If is true, what lines I need to change?


Thanks one more time, and excuse me the inconveniences (and my poor english in this forum too) ( ^_^ )!! .


PD: Bueno, eres de Honduras, supongo que será más fácil el tema, ya que pudíste haber probado la clave en un XP en español. :icon_cool:

The installation of the .inf go without any issues on my WindowsXP SP2 in French.

It could be usefull sometime for the others, if you post what the message error tell, even in Spanish (we can use online translator ;) )

That INF is universal, it will put the recycle bin in the start menu and give it the correct name and infotip no matter what language you are using.

You can open shell32.dll in reshacker and go to this location and you will see the Recycle Bin name

SHELL32.dll
String Table>561>10XX>8964
This is the location of the localized info tip

SHELL32.dll
String Table>1433>10XX>22915
You may need to go to the start menu properties and check the Recycle bin option
