The Start menu search may be the best timesaver ever added to Windows.
This trick only works in the personal Start menu folder.
C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
Now, right-click in the folder, select New, and then click Shortcut.
Now, enter a name for the shortcut.
Click Finish when your done.
By default it will have a folder icon.
Let’s switch that to the standard Recycle Bin icon.
Right-press the new shortcut and click Properties.
To do that, simply repeat these directions, and enter another name of your choice at the prompt.
Here we have both a Recycle Bin and a Trash icon.
Simply press Enter or hit the icon to launch the Recycle Bin.
This trick will work in Windows Vista too!
