I'd like to remove the recycle bin from the desktop. How can I do that in Windows Xp Pro?

Thanks,
Travis
 
You can do registry hacks to accomplish this, but I prefer the policy edit approach:

Start, Run, gpedit.msc

User Configuration ===>Administrative Templates=== >Click on Desktop

In the right pane Click "Remove Recycle Bin icon from desktop", right-click it and choose Properties. Choose "Enable".
