| | recycle bin I have tried to change the recycle bin icon (full and empty) which works - sort of. But the empty icon doesn't change to full when I throw something away. The icon doesn't change. It only changes when the system reboots. Have I missed something? Doctor. |

| | I had a problem with recycle bin and used this information. The premise is actually delete the old icon and restore with a new and working one. Desktop Icons - Add or Remove |

| | Nothing's working hey guys. I tried changing the icons back to default - and it changed for full and empty as it should. But for some reason it just won't work for the icons i want to use. Am I putting the icons i want to use in the right place? Doctor. |

| | I have always placed custom icons that I used in a folder in "My Documents" folder. You might try them from there. Could you upload and attach (paperclip icon while editing post) your icons in a ZIP file here to see if they may at issue? |

| | I think I may have found what's causing the problem - but now there's another. The icons I am trying to set are on my C drive and I think I need to tell the recycle bin properties to read from that drive (recycle bin location). But when I try to change the recycle bin location and click "apply" it just keeps resetting itself. ?? Doctor. |

| | This bug has been around since Vista (for me anyhow). I ain't on Win 7 enough to see it but nothing fixes it 100% permanently in Vista so assume same in Win 7. Rebooting normally refreshes it and it can not rise its ugly head for ages again. |
