As we all know,trying to hide/remove the Recycle bin icon from the desktop is almost impossible,as Microsoft didn't provide with an easy solution to that.

Meanwhile,you might want to get rid of all icons on the desktop,in order to show a plain desktop-background.
So in order to do this,some steps will be taken...

2. From the Personalize appearance and sounds window,click the “Change desktop icons” link on the left-hand side.
3. Finally,uncheck the “Recycle bin” box.

• Now,copy paste the following snippet of codes in the text-area
  Reg Delete HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
• When prompted to confirm the delete,just type y and select “OK” or hit Enter.
