Hello @igeorge George,
You might see if you may be able to add "Empty Recycle Bin" back to the context menu of the Recycle Bin using the tutorial below.
Remove Empty Recycle Bin from Context Menu of Recycle Bin in Windows | Tutorials
Next, you might see if the tutorial below may be able to fix the Recycle Bin icon not refreshing.
Hello Brink
The icon is fixed now.
Thank you very much.
I go to step two.
Hello Brink,
I do not have the subfolders like you have.
The key has just DefaultIcon, but no subfolders.
See the screenshot
After i changed the permission to the whole key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
I run the script, and now i have the empty recycle bin option.
I still do not know what i have missing the subfolders for this key, but the original problem is fixed.
The icon change , the empty option is now back.
Thank you
P.S.
Do you know by any chance how to make windows 7/64 ultimate service pack 1 the font darkers.
As you can see on my screenshot they are horrible.
I use the windows classic display and no aero.
But when i open a folder, i barely can read.
Selecting a high contrast theme, it interfere with some of my programs (like PCB design )
You're most welcome George. I'm glad the original problem is now sorted.
You could test using different fonts or a bolded font using an option in the tutorial below to see if you may find one that looks better to you. I would recommend to create a restore point before doing this. This way you can do a system restore and select a restore point before this to quickly undo it if needed.
