hi'

I guess that most of us using vista noticed this "delete" stuff in the context menu of the recycle bin ...
annoying, if clic on, the bin disapears :(
although, it's fast and easy to set it back, it's a kinda buggy stuff :(

I got a solution through a site, a .reg file which disable this "delete" stuff and then recover a classic menu ;)

here is the code :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Delete]
@="Recherche"
"Description"="Removes Delete, replaces with Recherche"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Delete\command]
@=hex(2):25,00,77,00,69,00,6e,00,64,00,69,00,72,00,25,00,5c,00,65,00,78,00,70,\
00,6c,00,6f,00,72,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Delete\ddeexec]
@="[FindFolder(\\"%l\\", %I)]"
"NoActivateHandler"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Delete\ddeexec\Application]
@="Folders"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\Delete\ddeexec\topic]
@="AppProperties"

copy this in a text file and rename it with extension .reg and give it a clic!
this action is effective as soon as the clic is done ;)

ps; I give a zip file with the reg file in it, already done ;)

I just put my recycle bin in the start menu. There is still a "remove from this list" option, but I haven't actually managed to remove it since I put it there. Also, my desktop is spotless save my wallpaper :)

Nevertheless, nice find!

Might be because of the two start menu directories in Vista - the one in my user directory seems to have some really annoying permission restrictions on it, but the general one doesn't. You can get around the permission issues, but it is a pain. Why I use the general start menu directory.

*I'm also using the classic start menu.
