Get to the recycle bin – even when it is hidden.

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to sign up for my email newsletter for more articles just like this.

Now this is a cool little time saver tip. Unfortunately this only works in XP, and 2000.

Lets say you got lots of windows open, and you have a file or folder you want to quickly get to the recycle bin

Just drag your file or folder to an empty spot on the task bar (Don’t let go!)

Task Bar Recycle

And bam! All your windows will minimize

Now you can easily reach the recycle bin only using your mouse.

Nice trick. I tested it on Windows Vista and it works too
