Windows 7 - Recycle bin on Start menu problem

[Clawz114]

Hi Guys

Ive got a problem, or more of an annoyance with Windows 7.

On Windows Vista, i had my Recycle Bin pinned to my Start Menu, and it worked perfectly. I could right click on it and it would show me the right click context menu with the option of "Empty the Recycle Bin"

On Windows 7 however, i have pinned the Recycle Bin to the Start Menu, however when i right click on it, the following happens...

What im trying to do, is make the icon so when i right click it, i can empty the recycle bin from the right click context menu, instead of having to open it and then empty it.

It was possible in Vista, but i can't seem to find out why i can't do it in Windows 7.

Any ideas?

(No i don't want it on the Taskbar)

This was annoying change they made between the beta and RC, removing extended menus from some features

I've not found a way to do what you want, other than to use SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK to show you the "hidden" options.

BTW It behaves the same on the taskbar too

Ah, shift + right click will do the job.

Thanks!

btw there is a way to get the recycle bin on the taskbar, it makes the icon smaller then the rest but it's there next to the clock if you want to know?

Shift + right click will do.
