empty recycle bin
This option might work on all versions of XP. How would you like the option to be able to empty the Recycle Bin with just a right-click on a drive or folder in My Computer (Windows Explorer)?
Here's how.
Copy this info into Notepad and save as a .reg file
For the option to appear when right-clicking a drive




;--------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]
;--------------------------------------------------------
For the option to appear when right-clicking a folder
;--------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]
;--------------------------------------------------------
For the option to appear for a drive and a folder
;--------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]

Right-click the .reg file and select merge.
Note: The option will only be highlighted if there are files in the Recycle Bin. This can also be used as a quick check whether you have files in your Recycle Bin.
