Where in the registry can you enable the tab for renaming the recycle bin as it appears on the desktop?

Thanks

2)Select the ShellFolder
3)Select the Attributes key,right-click
Choose Modify
4)Change Default from 40 01 00 20 to 50 01 00 20

Hi
this will apply for all windows versions.

To rename or delete the Recycle Bin by right clicking the icon you need to set the value of attributes to "70 01 00 20" in the key:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder]

Good luck
