Sometime back we saw how to rename the Recycle Bin in Windows XP. This is possible in Windows Vista, but you need to modify a different registry key.
Rename the Recycle Bin text in Windows Vista
Method 1
Download rename_bin_vista.zip and save to Desktop. Unzip the file and run the Script recyclebin_rename_vista.vbs. When prompted, type a name for the Recycle Bin icon and press ENTER.
Press F5 to refresh the Desktop.
Method 2
Click Start, type Regedit.exe and press ENTER
Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ CLSID \ {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
Double-click (default) and replace the existing text ("Recycle Bin") with your preferred text.
Exit the Registry Editor.
