So You Want To Rename Your Recycle Bin

The Recycle Bin is a system icon and cannot be changed using the right-click and selecting the "rename" option like most of the other icons on your desktop. It can, however, be changed in the Windows Registry. Here's how:

Go to Start> Run and type "regedit" (with out the quotes) in the text box. Click OK.
Open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and locate CLSID (the Class ID option). Scroll down to the {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} key and click it.
In the right pane, double-click (Default) and change the name from Recycle Bin to whatever you like.
Click OK and close RegEdit.
To see your new name, click once anywhere on the desktop and press the F5 key.

Warning: Make sure that you have backed up your registry prior to making any changes as a precaution.
