Quick overview:
For all those people who want to clear out their desktop and work completely with the Start menu, I have a clever trick that makes it very easy to move the recycle bin to the Start menu and manage it from there just as well. And this is how you proceed:
1. Click with the right mouse button on Start and select Open. The following window opens:
2. Right-click on a free area in this folder and select New > Folder. Windows will now prompt you to enter a name. Select the following line and press CTRL+C:
Papierkorb.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
Now right-click on your newly created folder and select Rename. Now press CTRL+V so that the text New folder is replaced by the above line.
As soon as you have pressed ENTER, the long command changes to the name Recycle Bin and the corresponding icon.
3. Take a look at the Start menu. You will notice that the recycle bin is now located there, the contents of which can be opened as a separate menu and deleted using the right mouse button.
Do you want more practical new entries in the Start menu? Proceed in the same way as above and just replace the complicated line.
Printer menu = Printer.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}
Dial-up Networking = Dial-up Networking.{992CFFA0-F557-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48}
Systemsteuerung=Systemsteuerung.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
Have fun with your new menus!
