Windows 7 - Need Recycle Bin Fullness Gadget

Hello,

Many times I go to empty my Recycle Bin, only to find that there is only 1 item in there.

Is there any Gadget, Widget, or Gizmo that will show the Recycle Bin graphic in a way that tells if it has a couple of files, many files, or a lot of files? I know that this is all relative, but some sort of gauge would be helpful.

Thanks for any input and advice you can give me!

I would love such a gadget myself. I have had the same thing happen to me as well.

This is what I use, works great on Seven, so don't sweat the name

Does anyone remember when the recycle bin was "Empty", "Has Files", "Full". In other words a three stage recycle bin? I'd love to have it back.

Or was I secondary smoking exotic herbal cigarettes and imagining it?

I'd rep you for that A Guy but I need to spread the love!!

Glad you like it guys
