Chriss Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 aaah the wastebasket...A great app for the undeterminded. but my question is this: how do you delete the watebasket icon on the desk??? is it at all possible.I recently deleted all my shortcuts (except for the wastebasket of course) and hid my start menu line...and upgrading it all to rocket dock. but the style and sleekness and everything is messed up by the dumb wastebasket shortcut which doesn't want to leave...HEEELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Just as a side note.Holding shift while pressing delete will delete the item permanently. It will not go to the recycling bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
