Tweak the Recycle Bin Context Menu in Vista

Posted on Aug 29, 2008

With the help of this tutorial you will learn how to add a program of your choice to the Recycle Bin context menu for easy use in Windows Vista. As an example I will be using the program TuneUp Utilities.

Here's how you can do this>>>
  • Click on the Start button.
  • In the search box, type regedit and hit Enter.
  • Click Continue to bypass button the UAC prompt.
  • In regedit, navigate to
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F0B-00AA002F954E}\shell
  • In the left pane, right click shell and click Key under the New menu.
  • Type the name of the program TuneUp (you can type anything you wish, it just makes sense to give the name of the program) and press Enter.
  • Again in the left pane, right click on the TuneUp key we created in the above step and click Key under the New menu.
  • Type command and hit Enter.

  • Moving into the right pane, double-click on (Default) and click Modify
  • In the Value data field, type the full path of the program.exe file

  • Click OK to apply
  • Exit Registry Editor and you're done.
  • You can add as many programs as you want. Just repeat the same steps for each program.
