    I find it better to do this via the registry with a change that allows you to rename the recycle bin in almost a normal manner. Go to
    HKCR/CLSID/645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E/ShellFolder/Attributes and change it from 40 01 00 20 to 70 01 00 20.
    To change the name without using the registry anymore, right-click on the recycle bin and choose explore. In the left pane of Explorer, you can now change the name, as normal.

    I have renamed my Recycle Bin to "Garbage". Now, the sound that usually plays when the Recycle Bin is emptied doesn't play anymore. I have located the .wav file that it uses in the Registry Editor at,

    HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer
    \EmptyRecycleBin\.Current

    It's String Value is,

    %SystemRoot%\media\Windows XP Recycle.wav

    Now that I have renamed the Recycle Bin, do you now how I can associate this .wav file back to it.

    P.S.-Could you e-mail me in case I lose this URL...I have quite alot of Favorites. Thanks SpyderBDM@aol.com
