How to hide and show the recycle bin in Windows Vista

Does anyone still drag and drop their files to the recycle bin? I don’t, but I do enjoy having a minimal and clean desktop. So why not remove the recycle bin from your desktop all together? Simple right click the recycle bin and select delete to remove it from your desktop. If you decide you want the recycle bin back, go to the control panel, browse to personalization and then desktop icon settings where you will find an option to show the recycle bin.
