Name change: that's because Recycle Bin is a "bad beast". There are reasons why NTFS performs such name change, it's not XY "fault".
Help file: I guess it depends on the OS version, specifically XP vs post-XP (Vista, 7,

. Nothing to worry about - but maybe a little outdated according to today standards.

That particular documentation will never be correct for all users as it depends entirely on where you choose to install XYplorer.
One strength of XY is that it is a portable application so there's also the chance that it won't be "installed" anywhere at all.
Given that many of the examples in that section don't reference the path to XYplorer.exe at all, I'd suggest the path be removed entirely. Instead a simple warning be added, such as: "All examples assume XYplorer.exe is in the current working directory or has been added to the System's PATH. To ensure they work anywhere the full path to XYplorer.exe should be used."
