Get the Recycle Bin back in My Computer

Ever since Windows XP Microsoft have been encouraging us to keep our
desktops clean and uncluttered but they still leave the Recycle Bin there. So
what if you want to remove it and put it somewhere else? a month ago I
wrote about RecycleBinX, a small utility that can add the recycle bin to the
Windows 7 Taskbar.
Now, HowToGeek have published a handy little guide on how to get the
Recycle Bin to appear back in your My Computer view, like it used to in
earlier versions of Windows.
It’s a simple registry hack too, these things commonly are, simply go to…
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace
and add a new Key called {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
After restarting Windows Explorer the Recycle bin should now appear.
