How to remove recycle bin from desktop
How to remove recycle bin from desktop
Recycle Bin is the area for temporary storage of deleted files.It is also for a security purpose for restoring accidently deleted files.Normally it appears on the desktop for quick access.But i have seen many people who dont want to put these type of icons in the desktop.If you are one of them,here is the trick to remove it from desktopFirst Go to START > RUN ( or window + r )
Type GPEDIT.MSC
Navigate to
USER CONFIGURATION >ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES >Click on DESKTOP
On the right hand pane find ” Remove Recycle Bin icon on the desktop ” , double left click on it to ENABLE it.you are done
There is another trick to do this by editing your registry
Create or modify the following registry entry
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerHideDesktopIconsNewStartPanel
{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
REG_DWORD

I want to go to bed but must wait for something to finish on my computer bin sleepandsuspend sh
I want to go to bed but must wait for something to finish on my computer bin sleepandsuspend sh
If Im doing a big upload or download or sending a big email or doing some other lengthy task but I wish to GO TO BED. Then can I allow it time to finish the task but make it suspend after say an hour?
Yes. This is working for me. (ubuntu linux)
Easiest method:
sudo bash -c "sleep 1h; pm-suspend"OR a more protecting script to avoid basic mistakes like NOT RUNNING AS ROOT. or NOT HAVING pm-suspend. duh. Good for sleepy users who want to go to bed.

cat >> ~/bin/sleepandsuspend.sh << EOF
#!/bin/bash
# to run it optionally give it amount of seconds to wait
# e.g. two hours 7200, e.g. 10 mins 600
echo e.g. invoke: sudo ~/bin/sleepandsuspend.sh 7200
[[ "$USER" != "root" ]] && echo must run this as root. && exit 0;
#3600secs = 60min * 60sec = 1 hour
SLEEP=3600
[[ "$1" != "" ]] && SLEEP=$1
which pm-suspend
[[ "$?" != 0 ]] && echo "Oh dear, I cannot run pm-suspend. This script will not work :-7"
sleep $SLEEP && pm-suspend
# pmi action suspend
# to run it optionally give it amount of seconds to wait
# e.g. two hours 7200, e.g. 10 mins 600
echo e.g. invoke: sudo ~/bin/sleepandsuspend.sh 7200
[[ "$USER" != "root" ]] && echo must run this as root. && exit 0;
#3600secs = 60min * 60sec = 1 hour
SLEEP=3600
[[ "$1" != "" ]] && SLEEP=$1
which pm-suspend
[[ "$?" != 0 ]] && echo "Oh dear, I cannot run pm-suspend. This script will not work :-7"
sleep $SLEEP && pm-suspend
# pmi action suspend
EOF
# make the script executable
chmod 755 ~/bin/sleepandsuspend.sh
# to run it optionally give it amount of seconds to wait, e.g. two hours 7200
sudo ~/bin/sleepandsuspend.sh 7200
Thanks to askubuntu.com users for the suspend commands

# If you knew a certain process will finish (e.g. a top-level make process) then you can use ps -elf // pstree -anp // whatever to get the pid of the process which is taking a long time. This is not possible though with some things like a google chrome window sending a big email. You can use wait to wait until the process exits.
# PID is the pid number OR %jobid of process you think will exit
# Invoke like this:
sudo bash -c "wait && pm-suspend"
