Windows 95 File Removal - Uninstall - Recycle Bin

Purge the Recycle Bin Quickly

SUMMARY: Save a few mouse clicks when clearing the Windows 95 Recycle Bin.

Do you commonly purge the Recycle Bin by double-clicking the bin, choosing "File" then "Empty Recycle Bin?" Or, worse yet, do you go to the Explorer, then select the "Recycle Bin," and then choose "File" then "Empty Recycle Bin?" Save yourself a few mouse-clicks. Just right-click on the "Recycle Bin" icon on your desktop and choose "Empty Recycle Bin" from there. Be careful - by purging the bin this way, you won't see the contents of the bin before deleting the contents.
