How to rename the recycle bin with XP
Isn't 'recycle bin' a bit of a boring name? If you try to rename the recycle bin, it just won't let you. There is a way of doing it using the registry.- Click Start and 'run'
- In the run prompt, type in regedit
- When the registry editor loads up, navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache - Click on this value
@C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll,-8964 - Put the new name for the recycle bin here. e.g. 'The dump'
- Press OK and restart your computer
- Finished!
