Found a nifty chunk of info for those that get truly peeved over over minor insignificant things, like i do with this one. Theres a couple of other things you can change if youre on Pro
If using XP Pro
Go to START > RUN
Type GPEDIT.MSC
Navagate to USER CONFIGURATION >ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES >Click on DESKTOP,
On the right hand pane find " Remove Recycle Bin icon on the desktop " , double left click on it to ENABLE it.
Sorted!
If using XP Home
Either use
TweakUI or make the change manually in the registry.
Create or modify the following registry entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
REG_DWORD
0x00000001
Peace
EDIT: Added link to download TweakUI, tested and works. Kernel Kev
