Just a hint, you must not debug the desktop.inf file with your 
debugger, but its easier to edit the desktop.inf file with
a editor (for example wordplus or tempus). 
There you can easily change the name of the thrash icon into 
rubbish (don't bother about the size of the text). 
The maximum size of an icon text is (so good as I remember it)
10. Thus you so long as your name does not exceed 10 characters
it will work. Try it!
