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 ser

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

Well... these are the results:

SHELL32.dll
String Table>561>10XX>8964

"Papelera de reciclaje"

SHELL32.dll
String Table>1433>10XX>22915

"Contiene archivos y carpetas que ha eliminado."

You may need to go to the start menu properties and check the Recycle bin option

This Option Doesn't appears (neither "Palelera de reciclaje").

Oh, Sure!!

Of Course!

But, when I Reboot System, before the "explorer.exe" process opens, this message appears:

errorlr1.jpg

I have 2 Files in the same folder, and I choose "install" from "Recycle.inf" file.

This is the information:

"Entries_RecycleBin_StarMenu"

In case anyone is interested, i have been tinkering with this Recycle Bin on the Desktop for a while as I wasn't satisfied with implementing the attached hack only to have to then still select it after windows booted up. here is what i discovered. i am including because i haven't found it anywhere else (i suspect I am not the first to discover this but maybe someone who will follow will be interested)

; ### will reveal whatever is set to OEMLink in Start Menu at logon (in this case Recycle Bin) even if default behavior hides it

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"Start_ShowOEMLink"=dword:00000001

; ### will remove Recycle Bin from desktop at logon even if default behavior places Recycle Bin on desktop

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]

"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

; ### will set the default behavior of the OEMLink in Start Menu to VISIBLE

; ### in the absence of this setting the default behavior of the OEMLink in Start Menu is set to VISIBLE so this setting should really be unnecessary

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"Start_ShowOEMLink"=dword:00000001

; ### will set the default behavior of the Recycle Bin on the desktop to HIDDEN

; ### in the absence of this setting the default behavior of the Recycle Bin on the desktop is set to VISIBLE

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]

"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

Upgraded RAM on my Dell Inspiron 6400 to 4Gb.

Finnally vista runs aswell as XP. Have got all stuff to work with vista tha I want (so far except for RecycleSMD)

Was wondering if this works under Vista Business Edition, it was really useful in XP as I don't really use the desktop.

Thanks for the XP one and Thanks for the Vista one (if there is one) If not I'll just add to the L.H.S. of the start menu.
