ADD: Emptying Recycle Bin - Right mouse button Feature

Hello MrMojo1,

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers Community.

Editing the registry is not something that I would recommend doing.

Before you begin, create a restore point.

That said, to add the Empty Recycle Bin to the context menu for the desktop as well as your other folders:

Navigate: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell]

Create new key named “empty”

Create new string values for each of the following:

·         "CommandStateHandler"="{c9298eef-69dd-4cdd-b153-bdbc38486781}"

·         "Description"="@shell32.dll,-31332"

·         "Icon"="shell32.dll,-254"

·         "MUIVerb"="@shell32.dll,-10564"

Create new key named “command” under empty

Create new string value for the following:

"DelegateExecute"="{48527bb3-e8de-450b-8910-8c4099cb8624}"

Hope this helps
