Never tried this on XP, but the article says it's supported, so...

Another way to remove it:

start->run->gpedit.msc

Under Administrative Templates->Desktop and double click "Remove Recycle Bin icon from desktop"

Log off and back on again and your worries are over..

You gotta have XP Pro for this tho
