March 22nd, 2005 I was cleaning up my desktop the other day, and I suddenly realised that unless you have got direct access to you desktop or an explorer window open, there is no quick way to empty your recycle bin.
This was when I came up with RecycleTray.
It’s a small footprint, notification area-based utility which monitors the recycle bin and allows you to empty by right-clicking on its icon.
I hope people will find it useful.

I know that you posted this article a while ago but I like this, infact I like it that much I am going to use it.
So that you can have a look at the bin contents, I have added an other item to the context menu, which simply executes the line of code below. This fires up the explorer window with the recycle bin already selected. The second parameter is the CLSID from the registry.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(”explorer.exe”,”::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}”);
