We know about new "Library" feature of Windows 7 which helps you in organizing your documents, files, etc easily and quickly.

This functionality is available in Win7 already. Right click an existing library and click properties on the menu. You can also open the library, go to organize in the toolbar at the top, and click on properties on the menu to get the same dialog box. I guess this post was prior to the release of Win7 that included it.

Right click and run as administrator.

Another icon for an Empty Recycle Bin would be great! ☺
