How to add the Recycle Bin to the taskbar The Recycle Bin is
always located on your desktop, and you can drag files and folders to it to
delete them. To make it even easier, you can add the Recycle Bin to your
taskbar
To add the Recycle Bin to your taskbar, follow these
steps:
1. Open the desktop by clicking the Desktop icon from
the Start screen or by pressing Windows+D.
2. Start File Explorer by clicking it on the taskbar. On the
View tab, select the Hidden Items check box. Close File Explorer.
3. If the taskbar is
locked, unlock the taskbar by right-clicking it and then selecting Lock The
Taskbar. If Lock The Taskbar does not have a check mark next to it, the taskbar
is already unlocked.
4. Right-click the
taskbar, select Toolbars, and then click New Toolbar. Select C:\Users\
<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch. This
displays the Quick Launch toolbar on the taskbar, which provides quick access
to shortcuts and folders. The Quick Launch toolbar was popular with Windows
Vista and earlier versions of Windows, but Windows 7 and Windows 8 support
pinning shortcuts to the taskbar, so the Quick Launch toolbar became redundant.
However, you cannot easily pin the Recycle Bin to the taskbar, so the Quick
Launch toolbar is still useful.
5. Grab the dotted
line and drag the Quick Launch toolbar to the left, making it larger.
6. On the taskbar, right-click Quick Launch, highlight View,
and then select Large Icons.
7. On the taskbar, right-click Quick Launch and clear the
Show Text option.
8. On the taskbar,
right-click Quick Launch and clear the Show Title option.
9. Drag the Recycle Bin from the desktop to the Quick Launch
toolbar.
10. Once again, grab the dotted line to resize the Quick
Launch toolbar. This time, drag it all the way to the right, making it as small
as possible.
11. Right-click the taskbar, and select Lock The Taskbar.
Now, you can drag items to the Recycle Bin on your taskbar
to delete them, and empty the Recycle Bin by clicking it on the taskbar.
