it would be nice if it was possible. so users don't have to switch to another file manager to delete / manage recycle bin files.

Can you can do this in fact.
Run "cmd" and type "dir /b /od /a C:\RECYCLER" to see recycle folders for different users. The last directory is probably yours.
Press Alt+Space and then P and then enable QuickEdit Mode.
Select the directoryname and press Enter to copy it to the clipboard.
Paste it in XnView and add "C:\RECYCLER\" in front of it.
Don't forget to add it to your favorites.

I've tried to do it by editing the ShellFolder Attributes of {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} but it didn't seem to work since it probably expects a physical pathname.
