Hi Aatif, Not sure as which OS you have installe don your machine. But here is the solution: on Windows XP - Open registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace Locate the following Key and Delete te key {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} If you are runing Vista Right Click on Recyclin Bin and Delete the Key If you have Windows 7. You do not have the option to Delete the Recyclin bin. However you can make that Disable. Go to Control Panel > Apperanced and personlaisation > on the Left hand Navigation List select change Desktop Icons and Uncheck recyclin Bin. Recyclin Bin is disappered. To enable back follow the same steps and check the Recyclin bin option in change Desktop Icons. Hope this helps Regards Adeeb
