In tip 5262, I described how to delete a file or folder, bypassing the Recycle Bin, in Windows XP?
To disable the Recycle Bin in Windows 2000 or Windows XP, using the registry:
1. Copy / Paste the following into a NukeOnDelete.reg file:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerBitBucket]
"NukeOnDelete"=dword:00000001
2. Merge the NukeOnDelete.reg file with your registry.
