HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]and change the name "Recycle Bin" to whatever you want.

Install patch that allows Recycle bin to be renamed on your computer using AutoPatcher. Restart your computer. Right click on recycle bin , click rename and give any valid name to recycle bin without the trouble of searching for keys in registry.

Everyone may not be having the same opinion. For not so advanced users, a patch is a better option.
