Windows 7 I want to hide the recycle bin on the desktop

[CURaven]

actually I want to hide everything on the desktop.
BUT using ">right click on desktop>View>Show Desktop Icons (deselect)" to do that is tedious.

So if someone can point me in the way to creating a macro or tweak my registry for these two similar but kinda different tasks I would be very thankful.


PEACE!

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon]
