There are people who like to look at a blank desktop. You can, but in older Windows versions you still had a Recycle Bin icon. That’s why someone once made MiniBin; a program that adds access to the Recycle Bin to the System Tray. This is therefore also useful for people who do not necessarily object to a Desktop full of icons, but who want to be able to access their deleted files in a different way. Note: The default double-click action is to empty the Recycle Bin. You can change this to Open.
