Change the name of Recycle Bin in Xp

For all those who want to add spice to your boring desktop

Let's say one fine morning you said, I will rename 'Recycle Bin' to 'Use Me' or 'Trash Can'. Can you do it? … Well, you are lucky this time. I will tell you how you can rename your recycle bin:

  1. Go to registry by clicking on Start menu -> run
  2. Type regedit
  3. Go to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
    or
    Press CTRL+F and then at the search box type {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
  4. Right click on default and click on Modify
  5. Change the name of Recycle Bin to whatever you want.

You are done!
