go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
look on the right column and select download "Tweak UI"
After you install it, go to the "Desktop" section and uncheck the Recycle bin. You can still access Recycle bin from Windows Explorer.

Yes, you can search for "TweakUI", which is an app created by Microsoft that has various features, among them the ability to hide some of the default icons like Recycle Bin from the desktop view. You'd still see it in Windows Explorer I think, just not on the Desktop.

I don't think you can delete it, it's a part of Windows operating system. I've never heard of deleting the Recycle Bin!

I am not sure about that. You might try "right clicking" on it and create a "shortcut" icon. Place the shortcut in some other folder, then go back and try deleting the original. Just a guess...
