Get A Functional Recycle Bin On Windows 7’s Taskbar

If you’re a fan of having a completely empty desktop but want to keep the functionality of Windows 7’s recycle bin, the TechSpot blog details how to get a Recycle Bin icon on your taskbar that accepts drag-and-drop deletions.

We’ve previously written up another Windows 7 recycle bin trick, but in that case, it was only useful for accessing what’s in the trash, and couldn’t accept files for deletion hovered over it. TechSpot’s solution—creating a Quick Launch taskbar, removing its text and title, then bringing the desktop Recycle Bin icon into it—covers all the bases, and lets you place your Recycle Bin pretty much wherever you’d like on the taskbar.
