Yes.

Remove Recycle Bin from desktop:

Note: First create a shortcut to the Recycle Bin somewhere else. The root of C: is good.

Start>Run> type "gpedit.msc"
+-User Configuration
-+-Administrative Templates
--+-Desktop
"Remove Recycle Bin icon from desktop"
Set to Enabled.

Reboot required for changes to take effect.

2) Type GPEDIT.MSC
3) Navagate to User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Click on Desktop
4) On the right hand search " Remove Recycle Bin icon on the desktop " and double left click on it to ENABLE it.

Removing and hiding aren't the same thing. :01:

TweakUI for XP lets you hide common unused Desktop icons

So does xp icon wizard cleanup. I think I'm missing something . With any program ...you have to give it access to your desktop . Why would one one not want
the saftey bin? You can configure to delete files with out recycle bin . Just delete! But "I" have little ones so not an option . So , not having my garbarge bin is unthinkable . :) Our friend mattesca, asked how to! Makes sence to me . I just thought it was weird ! :)

it's just the icon, peat moss.
you can make a shortcut to the recycle bin in the quicklaunch bar for example which is where I have mine.
