[How to] Delete the Recycle Bin Icon from the desktop in XP using Registry editor



Hi readers.. A friend of mine requested me to write a post on deleting the Recycle bin in windows XP. But the problem was I am having Windows 7 in my laptop. Anyways I managed to work out somehow and tried my best to post. SO HERE IT IS.

For deleting the Recycle bin on your Desktop follow these steps:

  • Open Registry Editor.
  • In Registry Editor, Find the registry key which given below [highlighted in blue color] :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\ NameSpace 

You may also like : How to create a folder with the name "con" [which many say impossible and also with valid reasons ]



After navigating the above folder
  • FIND this code :
  •   {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E"}
    deletion of recycle bin in XP


    • Delete the folder which is shown in the above screenshot. [the same key which is mentioned above]
    • Close the registry folder.
    Thats it. You are done! There is no need to restart your PC. Just wait for couple of minutes. Refresh and see the recycle bin wont be der on your desktop.


    NOTE: there is a precautionary measure you need to take before editing the registry key. Before making any changes in registry folder just Make sure that you have very latest backup.
    In cases where you're supposed to delete or modify keys or values from the registry it is possible to first export that key or value(s) to a .REG file before performing the changes.

    How to Restore the Recycle bin on the desktop

    Just do the reverse of what we did above. I mean to say just create a folder with the same name. If you dint get it. I will explain below.
    • As above navigate to the below register key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\ NameSpace 
    • Here comes the point. Create a folder with the name  {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E"}
    [Note: its the same code which we had deleted and the new folder's name should be with the parentheses .]
    Thats it Done!!
    And want to add one more thing this hold good for windows 7 also.

    Turbo C++ for Windows 7/Vista In FullScreen 64 bit - All DOS Programs & Games Supported - Dosbox



    Even though Turbo C was required for me during this semester studies. I didnt use this Turboc instead I was using Visual studio 2010 for programming . Even though Visual studio is better than turboc, still many like turboc because of simplicity.
    So in this post just thought of saying about installing Turboc in windows 7 in full screen 64 bit machine.


    Follow these STEPS 

    1) Create a directory and name it "DOSFOLDER" preferably in the root/c: or any other. This folder will be mounted as C: in DOSBox, you will learn later in this post.

    2) Copy all DOS applications & games (eg dev) to this directory. For example if you want to run Turbo C++ IDE, copy TC folder or extract from TC installer to this directory.

    3) Download & Install the DOSBox for Windows 7/Vista & MacOS from the link provided at the end of the post.

    4) Run DOSBox, go to start> all programs/programs> DOSBox0.74(or similar)> DOSBox 
    or from the desktop. The DOS Emulator will open. On the title bar you can see the clock speed.


    5) You are prompt to Z:\>
    You need to mount the folder you had created in step 1, if you skipped it, do it now. Here you will store all dos programs & games.

    6) I am considering the path to folder/directory "DOSFOLDER" you recently created is C:\DOSFOLDER (for simplicity root directory was used)

    write the following lines of codes in dos emulator:

    Z:\> mount c c:\DOSFOLDER

    you would get a message Drive C is mounted as local directory C:\DOSFOLDER. You can use any drive letter instead of C eg H, I, J etc. Which is actually the virtual drive you have created in DOS emulator DOSBox. now type:

    C:
    C:\>

    If you remember or used DOS previously it's simple dos command. For example if you have saved all the files & folders of Turbo C++ IDE ie folder "TC" inside folder "DOSFOLDER" then type

    C:\> CD TC/BIN
    C:\TC\BIN>TC

    The TC.exe file is located in Bin directory of TC. In the same way you can locate the other dos programs and games. If you don't remember the names then us dir command to list the files inside any directory. The above line will open Turbo C++ IDE.

    Configure DOSBox to Auto Mount & Auto Execute

    1) If you want to save some time from typing these codes every time you start DOSBox. 
    Go to "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.74" where DOSBox is installed using windows explorer.

    2) Now run a batch file "DOSBox 0.74 Options.bat" which is present in the folder. A "dosbox-0.74.conf" file will open in notepad. Scroll to bottom, you will find [autoexec].

    Just below [autoexec] write the following lines of commands

    mount c c:\DOSFOLDER
    C:

    And save the file. The above code will be automatically executed when you start DosBox. It will mount the folder DOSFOLDER and create a virtual drive. Now you can type the name of programs to run.

    3) If you want to use only one program eg Turbo C/C++ IDE or DEV ..
    Then after [autoexec] write the following lines of commands

    mount C C:\DOSFOLDER
    C:
    CD TC/BIN
    TC

    Above code will directly open Turbo C/C++ when you run dosbox.

    Features to be considered before buying a laptop



    Hi everybody .. i just had my sem exams. Thought of posting something about laptops and what are the factors that are to be taken care while buying a laptop. This article is bounded only on the point of view of laptops. A laptop is different from a desktop computer. It has different features and functions. Let me come to the point .
    There are few things that are to be taken care while taking a laptop.

    1. Weight and Size

    Weight : The lighter the laptop, the easier it is to move around. Prices usually have an inverse relationship with the weight of a laptop.
    On the other end the features of a laptop which would affect the weight of the laptop, which can be if it has a powerful graphics card, or a larger screen etc. The laptop will end up being comparatively heavier and more expensive. So keep a look out for that.
    So the point is, i> If you are taking laptop outside the home often then go for the lighter and if the laptop will be in home all the time then you can compromise with the features of laptop[bulkier].
    This was all about its size
    Size:  The most common screen size of laptop is 14.4.. Again here, the small screens will be a boon  for travelers. And for home users a bigger screens of 15.5 or 17" .
    awesome laptop
    laptop selection
    how to select a laptop


    2.INUT DEVICES

    In laptops there wont be a hand-driven mouse instead we will be having a touch pad[track pad] or a pointing stick. So now if you were having a desktop before you need to cope with touchpad!
    Hard-core gaming with these devices might be a little problematic.

    3.BATTERIES

    Batteries of laptop are nothing but the built-in UPS. Battery backup is the biggest boon of laptop. Because of battery backup only the laptop has become so famous.The main feature you need to look in buying a laptop is its battery back up. How many hours the laptop works without power this is the point to be noted.

    4. DISPLAY:

    There are many things you need to take into account while buying a laptop.
    Whether it is LCD?
    Whether it is LED?
    Whether it is capable of HD?
    LCD: Liquid Crystal Display.. this is which is use in general.
    LED: Light Emitting Diode.. this gives better quality of image..it consumes less power as compared to LCD
    HD: High defination.. should take care whether it is capable of HD o not [if HD quality is required :p].
    And now a days there are talks of 3D also.

    4.Keyboard

    All laptops have cramped keyboards, but at least try to find a laptop with a keyboard with which you can comfortably type. Also, consider getting a spill-resistant keyboard if you have kids or work in a “spill” type environment.

    And at last the most important thing to be noted.

    Your Compatibility:  If possible, “test-drive” a laptop before purchasing it. A laptop is different from a computer. In a computer if you don’t like your mouse or cd-rom drive you can replace it. In a laptop that is not possible. Once you buy it, you either keep the complete piece or you throw away the complete piece. (Please don’t throw it away. Give it to me! :p) It is hard to replace an annoying keyboard, an irritating touch pad device, or a poor display. So make sure that you're okay with your laptop by playing around with it.

    And i am finally ending my post on features of laptop that are to be taken care. But this post was only bounded to laptops.. Here nothing is discussed about OS, Performance speed , RAM, Hard Disk, Graphics etc etc.. About all these I will be writing in another post.. WAIT FOR IT :p . Thank you hope this gave you some idea about buying a laptop.
    COMMENTS ARE WELCOMED.
