INPUTS



OUTPUTS



-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------



PS C:\\>Rename-d00mRecycleBin -ComputerName localhost -NewName 'Recycle Bin'



This example will change a registry key to rename the Recycle Bin to

the new name specified, Recycle Bin (maybe to change the name back from

changing it earlier), for the specified computer name, the local host, and

then restart the explorer process so that the change is reflected using

the default credentials









-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------



PS C:\\>'Computer1', 'Computer2' | Rename-d00mRecycleBin -NewName 'Garbage'



This example will change a registry key to rename the Recycle Bin to

the new name specified, Garbage, for the piped in computer names, Computer1

and Computer2, and then restart the explorer process so that the change

is reflected using the default credentials









-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------



PS C:\\>$cred = Get-Credential



(Get-AdComputer -Filter {(enabled -eq 'true') -and (operatingsystem -like '*Windows*')}).Name |

Rename-d00mRecycleBin -NewName 'Your hopes and dreams' -Credential $cred



This example will change a registry key to rename the Recycle Bin to

the new name specified, Your Hopes and Dreams, for all the computer names

piped in from the Get-AdComputer cmdlet, and then restart the explorer process

so that the changes are reflected using the specified credentials. Kind of a

rude thing to do...
