It is boring when your computer is just like others' computers. Well, you can change that and why not starting with your Recycle Bin? You can rename it. But there are few things you'll have to do to be able to rename it.
By the way, you have to create Windows Registry backup to change it.
Creating registry backup:
- Press Start and select Run. Type REGEDIT and press Enter. In new window select File/Export.
- In new window enter your registry backup name (for example: today's date). Select where you want to save and after that select ALL. Press Save.
Okay. We have registry backup. It is time to change the name.
- Press Start and select Run. Type REGEDIT and press Enter.
- In new window select HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, CLSID, {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} and ShellFolder.
- On the right side of Registry Editor window double-click CllForAttributes. In new window find Value Data. Enter 0. Press OK.
- Now double-click Attributes. Now Edit Binary Value should open. Hold ctrl+shift and start pressing right on the keyboard until 40 01 00 20 will be highlighted. Change them into 50 01 00 20 and press OK. Now you can close all windows.
- Right-click on the recycle bin and select rename. Now type any name you want.
