Recycle Bin icon doesn't update icon status

Hi all,

my Recycle Bin does not update its icon status, i.e. when I delete
something I always have to press F5 to "refresh" the icons to get the
correct icon of the "full" bin displayed; and when I empty the recycle
bin, the same thing happens. What seems to be the problem here? Is there
a icon cache file somewhere that I have to delete?

Right click the Command Prompt shortcut, 'run as administrator'
shutdown the Explorer process in Task Manager
At the prompt, go to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local
atrib -h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
start a new explorer.exe task
