Windows tricks and tips rename the recycle bin

As you know you cannot directly rename recycle bin in Microsoft Windows OS by  going to the icon and by doing the right click rename, because you will not get the rename option.
But their is method by which you can do it by making few changes in the registry. You need to follow these steps.
  1. Click Start / Run
  2. Type regedit and press enter.
  3. Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder
  4. Open the CLSID folder
  5. Open the {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} folder
  6. Open the ShellFolder folder
  7. Change the Attributes data value from 40 01 00 20 to 50 01 00 20. Once completed change the CallForAttributes dword value to 0×00000000(double-click and change value data to 0). You must change both of these values to get the rename to appear.
After performing the above steps you will be able to rename the icon like any other icon. Right-click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop and click Rename and rename it to whatever you wish.
