Try to rename the recycle bin in windows. You cant! But wait, a simple registry tweak, and your all set to rename it to what ever you want!

Video Notes:
Navigate in the registry to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/ folder.
Look for the folder within the brackets that is called {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
then expand it.
Double-click Shellfolder.
Change the binary value data from default 40 01 00 20 to 70 01 00 20
