Adding 'Delete' to Recycle Bin menu

SurviveAll.Net Computer Tips

Have you ever noticed that most desktop icons have a

Delete and Rename option when you right-click on them,

but the Recycle Bin does not. Using this option you

can make the Delete and Rename options available for the

Recycle Bin as well. To set this option, go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder

Edit the value "Attributes" (BINARY value) and change the

value setting to one of the following numbers:

50010020 = Add Rename Only

60010020 = Add Delete Only

70010020 = Add Delete and Rename
