Hi, danzil, sorry about all the flooding in your part of the world. Thanks for your message. I will remain in contact with you from time to time. Bye.

Thanks a lot maynardvdm. I now have the rename option for my Recycle Bin. From time to time, continue hooking me up with other informative websites like ComputerHope.com. For now, I have only one other question. Can danvil or you tell me how to remove the reg file danvil created and I installed earlier. Will it have any adverse effect in my system. I'm completely new to reg files and so my concern is understandable.

Hi, maynardvdm. Thanks for your post. The value in data is 'Recycle Bin'. I'm waiting for your response.

Ok, danzil. Here's what I did. I copied everything you put down in notepad, saved and merged the reg file. I then restarted my system. Nothing changed. At the top of your response, you said something about deleting all the desktop icons. I didn't do this because it is not possible to delete my problem area (Recycle Bin). Also, the first option you gave didn't work because the recycle bin cannot be checked or unchecked in the display options. Can you clarify?

danzil, I've just received your reply. Thanks for writing. I have already tried system restore and it didn't work. My Recycle Bin name remains ad(20). I'm waiting to hear from you. Please give full details of how to go about solving this problem (e.g. how to install your reg file). Regards, Billsquare.

gamer07, can you give details on how to do this?

I recently had all my desktop icons highlight themselves and rename to ad(1),ad(2),ad(3),.... and so forth. So, I right-clicked on each one of them and gave them their proper names. But I could not rename the Recycle Bin and to date its system-given name is ad(20). What is the cause of this? I use Norton-Antivirus and I did not get any virus attack message. I doubt this problem was caused by a virus. My computer model is HP compaq, operating system is Windows XP. How do I give the Recycle Bin its proper name. I tried searching all files but can't find it anywhere to put on my desktop. It is present and working ok, only the name is different.
