I was able to hide recycle bin through regedit tweak successfully, now I just have a leftover Widcomm bluetooth icon left on my desktop that wont go away. Please help me hide or delete it.

First backup the registry by doing the following.
Click on Start>Run,copy and paste the following bold text into the 'Open:' space,then press Ok.
regedit /e c:\registrybackup.reg
It won't appear to be doing anything,that's normal.
Your mouse pointer may have an hour glass along side it for a minute or so.
Please be patient and continue when the hour glass disappears.

Now copy and paste ALL the following text in the code box below into Notepad.
Click on Start/All Programs/Accessories/Notepad.
Click on File(in the menu at the top)>Save as../Save as Type: 'All Files' /File name: fix.reg to your desktop.
Then double click on the fix.reg file on your desktop

and agree to merge the information into the registry,then restart your pc.

REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{6af09ec9-b429-11d4-a1fb-0090960218cb}]
