If you want to drag the recycle bin into the superbar, you will see that Windows 7 does not allow it and that it is pinned in Windows Explorer. In order to realize this anyway, you have to take a little detour here.

 

 

To give the superbar a trash can shortcut, proceed as follows:

 

Right click on the desktop> New> Shortcut
Now a window opens in the input field and enter the path  % SystemRoot% \ explorer.exe shell: RecylceBinFolder .

 


create link


After confirmation, assign a name for the link e.g. B. Trash.
The shortcut of the recycle bin is not a recycle bin if it does not have the correct icon. To do this, proceed as follows:
Right click on the shortcut> Other Icon> Browse>
To C: \ Windows \ system32 \ navigate and the file Shell32.dll choose.


Other symbol

Now simply right-click on the shortcut and Pin to taskbar . click
Pin the trash
Pin the trash
One can almost imagine that the shortcut does not have the same functions as the icon on the desktop. Dragging and dropping files into the recycle bin and changing the icon as soon as the recycle bin is full does not work.
