Download Tweakui here: http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/PowerToys/Networking/NTTweakUI.asp

After installing, run it and remove the check mark from Recycle Bin under the Desktop tab.

Make sure you downloaded and installed the version of tweakui for your version of windows. The version for XP doesn't run from the control panel, but from a shortcut in your all programs menu. The version for XP is available here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

For WinXP this is the correct way to do it. Go to your 'run' shortcut (or winkey +R)
and type 'gpedit.msc' (no quotes). Then just browse to the following:

-->User Configuration -->Administrative templates -->Desktop -->Remove Recycle Bin from Desktop (set this to 'enabled'). Logoff, logon and it is gone.
