Disable Deletion of the Recycle Bin in Windows Vista

What we’ll do is disable this menu item using a small registry hack.

The item will still show up, it just won’t work anymore.

There’s also an included EnableRecycleBinDelete.reg file that will set it back to normal.Download DisableRecycleBinDelete Registry Hack
