I did it!! Sorry yrag, I didn't "directly" change my registry...I did a search on Annoyances.org, and found a program that makes it easy to do (I think someone posted about it at the start of this thread)...it is called TweakUI. After installing, I just opened the program, clicked on "Desktop", then unchecked the Recycle Bin.

Thank you SO much for your time and help! I really appreciate it! I guess this means I'm still a "Registry Virgin"...sort of.

oh...the link to download that program is here: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/tweakui

hmm...I just uploaded my very first skin (ever!)...unfortunately, it's not for WB, but for an Object Dock background. I can't quite get my head around the WB skinning, so I'll start with the basics first.

So, IF it's accepted...then I will no longer be a "Skinning Virgin"...
