Re: disable the Recycle bin

Mohamed,

To hide that icon you will have to set the following registry entry (again, either use TD Extra Registry section, your own custom
component or simply set the value at runtime):
If XP style used for Start menu:
[HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel],
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:1
If Classic style for start Menu used:
[HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu],
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:1

Note, to affect all the user accounts either use HKLM or HKUS\.DEFAULT branch instead of the HKCU.
