Remove Search Everything... from Recycle Bin context menu

[SickestGuy]

After reading this thread... viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5508

I still don't exactly understand how this works.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Then what? Remove the entire thing or what?

To remove the Search Everything folder context menu item for all folders:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Uncheck Show Search Everything folder context menu item.
• Click OK.

To add a Search Everything folder context menu item for file system folders only:

• From the Start menu, search for:
  regedit
• Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
• In the Registry Editor, navigate to:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
• Create a New key called:
  Search Everything...
• Navigate to:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Search Everything...
• Create a New key called:
  command
• On the right, set the (Default) value data to:
  "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -path "%1"

I don't want to add anything and I don't want to remove 'everything' from all folders. Just want to remove Everything search from the recycle bin

The thread you quoted explains this.
The Recycle Bin is a "special folder". You have to remove the registry key that puts Everything into the context menu for all folders, including "Special" folders and replace it with one that just adds Everything to the context menu on standard folders. Void's instructions will do this.

Unfortunately there is no simpler way, it is just the way Windows works.

If you don't want $recycle.bin results from showing up in your searches, exclude $Recycle.Bin from your Everything filter.

Search | Organize Filters | -> Everything --> Edit... ---> Search: !$Recycle.Bin ---- OK

Okay then, I followed those instructions and it worked.

So there isn't a way to simply remove the icon only from R bin? It has to be all special folders?

Like if I right click on a C drive to search... I cant. I have to pick a specific folder.

I believe you can add another key to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell in addition to the one you added to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell, following the same directions. That should let you click on drives. (Not tested)
