Rename \$Recycle.Bin to RECYCLER

I don't like having both "$Recycle.Bin" and "RECYCLER" just taking place in
Windows Explorer.

How do I tell Vista and XP to use another name for that system folder?
It would be better if I can move it to
\System Volume Information\RECYCLER

Why would you even want to do this? And BTW I think you'll find that you
can't access the System Volume Information folder at all...

Are you Dual booting between XP and Vista? Or is this drive been upgraded
from XP?

Recycler is the pre-vista name for $recycle.bin. If you're not running XP
(or 2k) you can delete the recycler folder.

You can't move it off the root of the drive.

There is a way to change the name of the Recycle Bin in older versions of
Windows but I can't remember to save my life.
In Vista however you can just right click and change it just like any other
folder.

Hello Gordon! Thanks for stopping by. Here is a reason:

dir /a /b s:\
$Recycle.Bin
ATI MMC
RECYCLER
System Volume Information
pagefile.sys



How does it feel with so much system items? There are 5. This is a large
volume, that I have assigned as a primary workspace for my work. How would
You feel If someone puts a lot of garbage in your workspace? And You have to
delete it every now and then!

It is a doal-boot configuration. Each has it's own partition. Each
re-creates it's own Recicle bin folder after I delete it.

Oh and about "System Volume Information"... I've granted my self "Full
control", so I can do whatever I want with it.

That way you only change the icon on the desktop, and not the physical
folder on the <root> of each hard-disk.

It's not garbage - they are NORMAL System folders and files! Why not create
a separate partition for your DATA and leave the system partition for system
files and folders if you are so worried about them....
