How you can hide the Recycle Bin from the Desktop?
Click on Start button and open Run option then type Regedit & explore it:
if you are using the XP style start menu then go the given path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel\
Or
in classic menu your path will be:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu\
Inside, Make new DWORD-Value with the name "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" & 'Modify' Value "1"
That will just hide the Recycle bin icon, if you want to restore the desktop icon again, just 'Modify' the same DWORD-Value to "0"
