How to disable Recycle Bin without reboot?

[recycle]

Hi,

I know that this is one way to disable Recycle bin:
set NukeOnDelete value to 1 in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket

But, after this change, reboot (or at least logoff/logon) must be done so that changes are loaded and only after that Recycle Bin is really disabled.

Can anybody please tell me how I can refresh Recycle Bin settings without reboot or logoff/logon?
Or is there another way to disable Recycle Bin (except right-click on Recycle bin icon -> Properties and check "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin")?
My OS is Windows 2000.

Thanx in advance

Why do you not want to do this? It is simple and works well. What is the advantage to another way? I just don't understand.  :-?

Well, I need to do it using some code.  And right-click is not coding

Why not delete it?

I'm afraid deleting is out of question.
I was hoping for some peace of code that would disable Recycle Bin, without having to download anything

We still don't know why...

Because I want my application to disable Recycle Bin so that user does not have to worry about it, to reboot, to download additional software, or to be surprised by sudden dissapearing of RB from his Desktop

Sorry, I still don't get it, see the advantage of this, etc. Why don't you just disable it and delete the icon if it is that much of an issue and is not needed?

I seem to recall that you can force a registry reload by terminating and restarting explorer.exe.

Note: Please do not confuse explorer.exe with iexplore.exe. Though both highly useful, they are not interchangeable

OK, I guess user could except removing icon from Desktop. But how do I make my application do that without reboot and without any additional software?
(BTW I work on Windows 2000 and on Windows 2003 Server)

Thank you, that is how I could reload registry without reboot.
But could it be too risky to kill explorer.exe and start it again? Maybe there are some situation where this could cause some kind of disaster

Sometimes explorer.exe may not load again into memory. That's the only problem you may get.

I'm going to have to bail on this little bit of insanity. You guys have fun.
