as to the person wondering why use this method (rather than disabling the recycling bin completely) the answer is simple
if i delete something on accident i can get it back as long as my computer stays on, but if i delete something on purpose it is unlikely i will need it back by the time i restart my computer
also this trick cleans up more than just the recycle bin, and since i hate temporary files im glad they are off my system at startup

I think this can be controlled by administrators remotely, but you should be able to change that if it's your own machine. Is this a work or personal machine?

That’s definitely a valid point, but the Recycle Bin is still useful in case I delete a file, and then want it back later that same day. I want to have the option to retrieve files that I’ve deleted over the past few hours.
