Open the Registry to...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\De
sktop\NameSpace
Well, here is how to do it...
(1) "START button, Run, RegEdit".
(2) Click the plus sign to left of "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE".
(3) Continue to & click the plus sign left of "NameSpace".
Look for the item (Key) you wish to remove in the left pane,
under "NameSpace".
ACTUALLY, it will likely be a long, indecipherable number. Click
each one, & look in R-Pane, per the next step.
(4) In the left pane still, click the item you wish to remove, so that
it HIGHLIGHTS.
In the right pane, "(Default)" will likely show something unusual,
or it will show up somewhere. If not, better stop & report back.
Certainly do not delete "Recycle Bin" or "My Documents". Those two are
normal Desktop items.
(5) Click "Export Registry File" in the "Registry" menu.
This will create an "undo" file. It will contain the Key that is
open in the left pane, it's sub-keys & the data in the right pane. It
will get a file type of ".reg". By default, when you click a ".reg"
file, it's data will merge back into the Registry. So, don't do that...
unless you want it back.
(6) R-Clk the Key (big number) in the left pane, & select "Delete". (If
it has lost it's HIGHLIGHT, click it again & look in the right pane to
be sure you've got the right one.)
(7) Close RegEdit.
To alter the default behavior: "START, Settings, Folder Options, File
Types tab". Scroll to & click "Registration Entries", click the "Edit"
button, select "edit" in the window & click the "Set Default" button.
Now, when you click a ".reg" file, it will open in Notepad for
examination. To merge it into the Registry, R-Clk it & select "Merge"
Here is what mine looks like, for comparative purposes...

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
