Pin your Recycle Bin to the taskbar

                  If you’d like easy access to your Recycle Bin so you don’t have to fish through the clutter of your desktop to find it, you can pin it to the taskbar. Problem is, in Windows 7, the Recycle Bin doesn’t act like a normal program icon does. You can’t drag it directly onto the taskbar for pinning.

                Start by right-clicking on an empty area of the desktop, and select New > Shortcut. In the field that says, Type the location of the item, enter this text, then click Next:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe shell:RecycleBinFolder

                  You will be prompted to enter a name for the shortcut. Enter Recycle Bin(or really, anything you wish), then click Finish. This will place a shortcut onto your desktop that looks like a folder.

Next, you will need to add the actual Recycle Bin visual icon onto the shortcut. Right-click on the icon and select Properties. Then click theChange Icon button, select the Recycle Bin icon, and click OK. It looks like this:

                     Now, you can simply drag the icon onto your taskbar, and you are good to go. You can delete the shortcut on your desktop when you are done. And if you decide later that you want to remove the Bin from your taskbar, simply right-click on it and choose Unpin this program from taskbar.
