| | How to make invisible icons? I use an invisible icon for my Recycle bin so my desktop is completely clean, the problem is I've tried multiple icons and all of them show up black upon a restart - upon changing the icons they are invisible again and the process repeats. What do I do? |

| | Give yourself a black background? Found this tidbit, no idea if it works, not going to test it incase I can't get the icon back. http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2n5g3k...n-vista-and-xp Ok, I tested it, it works. However, you have to switch the program Tweak UI with the program Ultimate Windows Tweaker because Tweak UI won't work in Windows 7 even if you run it in compatibility mode. Tutorial coming soon. |

| | Black backgrounds are lame :I I was just on that page aswell. I've tried refreshing and it didn't work - plus that would be annoying to do every time. I've selected a new invisible icon and I'll see if it works when I get back - but I was using the same one as he showed there previously. I also downloaded an invisible icon from the interwebs and got the same result. |

| | It should work ok as long as you follow the instructions. Rename Recycle Bin > Alt-0160 > Enter That should remove the name Then Right Click > Properties > Customize > Choose an Invisible Icon. |

| |  I found out how to get it to work. I also believe using space instead of alt-0160 works - their guides are just outdated. Use the red circled one. |

| | Maybe he still drags stuff to it even though it's invisible? I don't know. Either way, I wrote up the tutorial: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...tml#post683206 |

| | haha fair enough, just seems like the OP is making things more difficult than they need to be if they just want recycle bin to go away.... |
