Answer 1

Answer

Yes you did..It is not a good idea but if you like same difference look.Go to start>run>type regedit click ok in reg editor go Open Regedit by going to START - RUN and type Regedit and hit enter. Then you should navigate to following entry in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\

Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} modify value data recycle bin to as you like.

You can change the name of your Windows 7 recycle bin by right-clicking on it and clicking on rename. I think the answer above this one is for older operating systems.

Answer 2

If you have deleted the Recycle Bin on your desktop, you can restore it by doing the following:

Right-click anywhere on the desktop

A menu will open

Choose "Personalize"

A window will open

Click "Change desktop icons" under "Tasks" in the upper-left corner

Another window will open

Check the box next to "Recycle Bin"

Click "OK"

Now you should have the Recycle Bin on your desktop again.

If you hid all desktop icons, thus hiding Recycle Bin, you can unhide them by doing the following:

Right-click anywhere on the desktop

A menu will open

Hover over "View"

The menu will extend

Click "Show Desktop Icons"

The desktop icons (or just the Recycle Bin if that's all you had) will appear.

If you want to make a new Recycle Bin at a different location you can either right-click the Recycle Bin, choose "Copy", and right-click and "Paste" where you want it, or you can follow this guide for more information:

To create a entirely new recycle bin make a new folder and name it "Recycle bin.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"(without quotes).this works only in XP/2003

POsition the windows on the screen so that you can see the Recylce Bin icon. In the right pane, double click (Default), the name of the value. The Edit String dialog box appears. The Value data should be empty in the dialog box. If a value is present, you selected the wrong value. Check your work and try again.
