    Hi, I just recieved my M1530. I would like to know how to access the recycling bin. My desktop is empty (the way I like it). I also closed the Delldock.

    On my old computer that used XP, I would simply access My Comuter the press the back button and the recycling bin would be there.

    So how do i access it on Vista? :confused:


    Also, how do I disable this effect:

    On the bottom bar, when you mouse over a runnin program, it pops up a mini screen of that program. I don't want that, anyone know how to disable it?

    check this thread out for all yur vista tweaks. really helps overall performance.

    for the recycle bin, u could open 'My Computer" then click the 'Folders' drop down menu. u should find the recycle bin at the bottom.

    or u could:
    - right click yur desktop
    - select 'Personalize'
    - goto 'Change Desktop Icons' on the left sidebar
    - restore yur recycle bin icon

    thx i found the recycling bin on the dropdown menu
    i want to find it like that because i don't want anything on my desktop.

    also found out how to remove the thunmnail display when you highlight a progrma on the bottom of the bar.

    u have to rightclick the bar then prperties then it shows you there.
