If you don’t use the Recycle Bin to store deleted files , you can get rid of its desktop icon all together.

Run regedit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/

Explorer/Desktop/NameSpace

Click on the “Recycle Bin” or else “{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}” or delete this code string in the right hand pane. Hit Delete, click OK.

Start->run->gpedit.msc-> user configuration ->desktop->remove recycle bin from desktop->double click->change it not configured to enable->apply and ok.

Now come to start->run->gpupdate.exe and press enter.

your recycle bin icon is gone from desktop and you will need to revert your settings for get that back.

after reverting setting make sure to run gpupdate.exe command.
