Hi Mihir,
here is a link to a good free utility for adding things to the right click;
Context Magic v1.1.b3 (Free Edition)
http://www.contextmagic.com/menu-extension/
Context Magic is a Windows Explorer shortcut menu extension that greatly=
extends functionality of the standard Send To menu and allows to manage=
files and folders with a few mouse clicks. To bring it up, just=
right-click a file or folder in the Windows Explorer, and point to Context=
Magic in the pop-up menu.

Some time ago, I used to use my own self-created recycle bin. Very
simple to do, and can almost create the type of recycle bin you mention
Don. On your desktop, you create a zip archive. Right-click the desktop,
NEW, ZIP ARCHIVE. Name it what you like, I named it RECYCLE.ZIP. Then,
when you want to dump something, you can just drag it to this icon, and
Windows automatically drops it into the zip archive just like a recycle
bin. By making this a zip file, anything dropped in there is zipped, so
it also saves more space than using the standard recycle bin. You can
also create a shortcut to that recycle.zip file. And, then you modify
your right-click context menu to include in its SEND TO option the zip
file you just created. Now, anything you want deleted, you can
right-click, and SEND TO RECYCLE.ZIP. Works just like a recycle bin and
you can also double-click it and open it like a standard folder if
you're using XP or have any of the zip tools installed. Now, you can
keep what you want, and technically go in there and manually delete
things you know you won't need.
If anyone wants specific instructions on how to set this up, ask and I
shall tell.
