Renaming Recycle Bin

Have you ever tried renaming the Recycle Bin on your desktop? Well, even if you try it ain’t gonna happen. Try right-clicking but there is no rename option, F2 also won’t work.
Why? Frankly, I too don’t know. But I know how to force it to be renamed though. Just a small registry tweak and you can easily rename the Recycle Bin just like other files and folders.

Here is how you do it:
1. Click Start / Run
2. Type regedit and press enter.
3. Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder
4. Open the CLSID folder
5. Open the {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} folder
6. Open the ShellFolder folder
7. Change the “Attributes” data value from “40 01 00 20″ to “50 01 00 20″. Once completed change the “CallForAttributes” dword value to “0×00000000″ (double-click and change value data to 0). You must change both of these values to get the rename option to appear.

Now, you can rename it to whatever you like. But be sure you have backed up the registry. I have warned you time and again that working with registry can be very dangerous sometimes. So, back up the registry before making any kind of modification.
