Thread: Having the Recycle Bin handy despite a full Desktop

The Recycle Bin serves the purpose of deleting files using Drag&Drop. But there is something annoying about it: the view of the Desktop must be free, so that the recycle bin is accessible.

Integrate the Recycle Bin in the alwaysyisible, left-side of the quick launch bar. This way, you will always have access to it. If the bar is hidden, right-click on a free area in the task bar and activate 'Toolbars'l Quick Launch'. Minimize all opened windows by pressing [Win]+[D], select the Recycle Bin and drag it to the quick-launch bar by keeping the mouse key pressed. After letting go of the mouse key, Windows integrates a shortcut of the Recycle Bin.

To delete a file, drag it to the symbol in the quick-launch bar. While doing so however, you must take care that the mouse key is released exactly above the Recycle Bin, or else an additional short¬cut will be created in the quick launch bar. The pointer should thus not have an additional plus-sign before the mouse key is release.
