Give Recycle bin your own name!!

Why not we give names to recycle bin??
It's cool to see it with the name we have given to it!!
Garbage collector
Trash bin
Whatever you feel good to it , you can rename it!!


How you can do??

follow the steps:
1. Open run, type regedit and go to the registry editor
2. Locate HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\
3. In the right pane , double click on LocalizedString or right click on LocalizedString and select Modify to modify the registry value.
4. You should see the default value of “@%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,-8964″. Delete or remove the default value and key in your desired new recycle bin’s name in text, for e.g. give “Trash Barrel” (without quotes).
5. Refresh your desktop or Windows Explorer by pressing F5.
You will see the new ‘recycle bin’ name.
You can also modify the text of InfoTip, commonly known as tooltip what display description about Recycle Bin when the mouse pointer is placed on Recycle Bin icon.
The default text that is displayed is “Contains files and folders that you have deleted.”

We can even change this!!!

How you can do??


In the same right panel , Simply double click on InfoTip, or right click on InfoTip and select Modify to change the text of the info tip.
The default value is “@%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,-22915″, change it to another description that you want the tooltip to be.

Refresh the desktop to make it effective.


Note: Its always a good habit to back up registry before palying with it!!
