PowerToys for XP will do that. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Or DekstopX.

If you have Windows XP you can also remove the various desktop icons this way:

Start -> run -> gpedit.msc -> ok
Go to User Configuration -> Administration Templates -> Desktop

In the rightpane you will find several option for configuring the desktop, there amongst 'Remove Recycle Bin icon from desktop'. Doubleclick on that option and check off 'Enable' and click OK - no more Bin icon!

If you have XP Pro, yes, if you're using Home, there is no gpedit.msc to access.
