Got a small problem with my recycle bin... when i empty it the icon does not automatically update to the empty version - i have to manually refresh the desktop!

I have the same problem but it is only with custom icons for the recycle bin that this happens, so I assume that is what you have too.

Just noticed this about my custom icon also. Another little bug?

this worked perfectly thanks! althought i had to do it manually (the registry fix just reveresed the problem! i.e it did refresh when i put something in the bin!)

i have the original icons but i did use custom ones at one point and changed them back to the original ones so i'm guessing that this is when it started!

thanks for the help guys

You're welcome. I think if you use any custom icons it screws it up for the original recycle bin in some cases too.
