I'm making a backup on Win 10 at the moment, and then will be back on Windows 11.

I just noticed "Pin to Home" on my Recycle Bin right click menu. It took the spot where Empty recycle Bin was, and pushed Empty... down a notch.
Needless to say, I'm never gonna pin the recycle bin to Home, as I don't have Home in File Explorer anyway.

If anyone knows how to remove that from Recycle Bin right click menu, I would like to know how.

I should be back on Win 11 in about 10 minutes.

Well, this old reg patch seems to do the trick. :-)

@Ghot,

I was still seeing pintohomefile on all sorts of files and folders even after running the reg file you cited above. But I tried the Remove Add to Home Context Menu reg file, and now it's gone. Maybe they both have to be run by anyone who wants to see the end of pintohomefile.

Hello! (following text from translator)
I have kept this appearance since the time of the windows 7 until today in windows 11 22H2 22000. (see pic)
In the newest version of win 11 23H2 22631 unfortunately I encounter an obstacle.
I have managed to achieve the set-up, I know how to rename the “Home” folder and delete the “Gallery”, but I have no idea how to add the Recycle Bin and the Downloads folder under the "Home" folder.
Do you know if this can be done? Do yoy have a solution with registry keys for this?
Thank you very much!!!
