Vista - disabling Recycle Bin

When I set options like in screenshot, this doesn't work. Files still get
moved to the recycle bin.
Why?

You can disable the recycle bin with the regedit below, are you can just
highlight the file or folder you're deleting, and hit the shift+delete key.

Open your registry and find or create the key below.
Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called
"NukeOnDelete" and set it according to the value data below.

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the
change to take effect.
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
NukeOnDelete REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion...

Registry Settings
System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
BitBucket]
Value Name: NukeOnDelete
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = use recycle bin, 1 = permanently delete)

I've added the suggested registry values (I had to add the BitBucket folder)
As you can see in my screenshot, however deleted files still end up in the
recycle bin.
For now in Vista I allways have to delete files with shift+delete.
And I used to have this set right in XP.
I use Vista RTM Build 6000...

Greetings...

Note that in Windows Vista recycle bin settings are "per drive". If you are
removing files from your C drive, you'll need to apply those settings to
your C drive too.
