I wouldn't recommend that, personally. Educate the users not to use the Recycle Bin as a storage area, by all means, but it does give them the option to restore deleted files without bothering the helpdesk.
However, as most of my users all have networked drives, they don't get the option to use the Recycle Bin anyway. But VSS covers that - however they need education in that too, as in not to restore entire drives back to an earlier time.
