Whenever I move a file to the recycle bin, it always looks empty. It wont
change back and forth to be empty when its "empty", and full when files are
added. How do I change this back to the way it used to be to reflect that I
have contents in the recycle folder when its full? Please help!

Hi, coliver.

Start by right-clicking on your desktop and clicking Personalize - the
bottom item on the pop-up menu. Then click Change desktop icons on the menu
at the left.

Right click an empty space on the Desktop and select Personalize. Click the
"Change desktop icons" link in Tasks.

You should see the default icons in the large section of that dialog box.
Click the Recycle Bin (Full) icon and then click the Restore Default Button.

Hello,

I recently made a post about problems with my recycle bin not refreshing
back and forth to show it being empty and full. You sent me a link which
looked really helpful, but I didn't have the chance to try it yet. Could you
please resend me that link? Thanks so much!
