this one's also in my site www.TECHTIPS.co.nr

It's very easy to do, just open your notepad and paste these:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=hex:50,01,00,20
"CallForAttributes"=dword:00000000

Save it as a .reg file and right-click on it, then click Merge

This will merge the .reg file in your registry, it's safe because I have used these before and until now, no problems.

After mergin it to the registry, there's no need to reboot, you can now right-click on the recycle bin's icon and click Rename.

could you clarify
Save it as a .reg file and right-click on it, then click Merge
I don't seem to see it

Not an option in XP Pro.

I've tried that. It doesn't work.

Jimbo,

Have you tried double-clicking it?

Stoner,

I don't really know, but in XP YES!

loony_taz00,

That doesn't work on me.

I have Norton Protected Recycle Bin and it will let me rename it.

I have 98 but it was on my older 95 PC so it would be the program that lets you rename the trash bin.

Mornin' hewee

Yep, I just checked my 95 instal that has Norton Utilities on it, and it appears the trash can can be renamed thru Norton. Didn't change it , though.

Here's a more comprehensive link to changing the Recycle Bin's name with other options.
It appears XP can change names with out the registry merge.

It infers that XP should not have the reg change.

I remove the text with a reg merge I got at neowin. So there is just a icon and only one icon on my desktop.

read the page again, it will change something in the Registry too.

I'm finding some links that seem to be a bit fuzzy on the XP issue, but I also found that Tweakui 1.33 will also do a name change.

I like this way the most. No fooling with the registry

You read it again

I'm not interested in 'changing something' just for the hell of it _
