📎 AI Summary:
The thread’s main topic is how to create a Mac-like “Recycle Bin” toolbar directly in the Windows taskbar by using a shortcut inside a custom folder. The key steps are unlocking the taskbar, creating a folder, adding a desktop Recycle Bin shortcut into that folder, then adding the folder as a new toolbar (optionally adjusting toolbar icon sizes and restoring taskbar locking). Overall, the tone is instructional and positive, with the author presenting the method as clear and “fully functional” despite not including screenshots.

Ever wanted a recycle bin in your taskbar? Like Mac OS X? Well here is the clearest tutorial I can give you.

Step 1 : Unlock taskbar if not locked.

Step 2 : Make a new folder where ever you want. (I put mine under C)

Step 3 : Name the folder something that you can remember. (I put mine to RecycleBinToolbar)

Step 4 : On your desktop, right click the Recycle Bin and hit 'Create shortcut'.

Step 5 : Drag the shortcut to the folder that you made earlier on Step 2 and 3.

Step 6 : Right click the taskbar, then hover over 'Toolbars' and hit 'New toolbar...'

Step 7 : Select the created folder we made earlier with the shortcut of the Recycle Bin in it.

Step 8 : Uncheck 'Show Text' and 'Show title'.

Step 8.5 (Optional) : Right click the 2 bars and hover over 'View' then click 'Large Icons'

Step 9 : If your taskbar was previously set to lock the taskbar and you unlocked it, you can change it back to LOCKED.

Now you can have a fully functional Recycle Bin in your taskbar! (I'm not taking a screenshot because I am using the Windows 7 visual style and some people may think I'm on Windows 7. Also I replaced the Recycle Bin icon to the one in Windows 7)
