The registry is the backbone of the Windows OS. By making changes to the registry values we can have fun. But we should be careful while doing this. Normally we cannot able to rename the recycle bin as we do with others. Here are the steps to customize the name of recycle bin. 1. Click Start button and select Run . 2. Then type regedit in the box and click OK (this will open the registry window) 3. When the registry window is opened navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion, Explorer, CLSID, and {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} folders. 4. When you have expanded the last folder, you should see an entry called (Default) that has no value. Right-click that entry and select Modify. 5. Then type your desired name. 6. Then close the registry window and press F5(refresh) to view the changes. Note: I tried this in XP. Dont know about other versions.
