recycle bin icon broken, confused

garbanzo · 20 Feb 2009

if it's not one thing, it's another...

my recycle bin has fallen ill, and is constantly displaying the wrong icon. it shows it's full when it's empty, and shows it's empty when it's full. sometimes it displays the right icon, but other times it refuses to cooperate.

i can remove the recycle bin from the desktop, bring it back, and see the right icon, but it usually messes up the next time i 'use' it.

sfc didn't help.

any thoughts?

Hello Garbanzo,

This is a refreshing issue with the Recycle Bin icon. This tutorial will help show you how to fix this. It's the same method as from Vista.

Hope this helps,
