How to rename the Recycle Bin in Windows?

Not many of us know on how to rename the "Recycle Bin" in Windows Xp. Lucky for you, I've found a way to rename it after surfing and googling on the Net. All you have to so is to edit the registry value.

Here's how to do it:-

  • Go to Start >> Run
  • Type regedit.exe and hit enter and it will open the Registry Editor.
  • Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ ShellNoRoam\MUICache
  • You’ll find probably something like this: @C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll,-8964.


  • Change it’s value to what you want the Recycle Bin’s name to be. Like "Recycle Bin" to "BIN".


Note: Modifying the Registry may harm your system if you're changing the wrong settingss. Make sure you have a backup. Do it at your own risk.
