MORE INFORMATION
================
Microsoft does not encourage or support changes to .inf files; therefore,
Microsoft Technical Support does not support the procedure in this article.
Although we have tested the following procedure and it appears to function as
described, make a backup copy of your .inf file before you proceed.

Also, add the following section and key:
[recycle.remove]
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\desktop\
