Recycle bin icon change.

Hi Folks,

I found a cool set of icons for the recycle bin, (one full, one
empty), and I'd like to install them.

Tried right-clicking the bin itself, like other icons, but there's no
option for that.

Did a search on the computer for icons, didn't find anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Donny

Re: Recycle bin icon change.

Donny,

To change the Recycle Bin icon, do this:

Open the Control Panel and type "recycle bin" in the search box in the top
right of the window.
You should then see this in the Control Panel:

Personalization
Show or hide common icons on the desktop

Click "Show or hide common icons on the desktop" and then click the Recycle
Bin. Click "Change icon..." and then you can specify a new folder to look
for the icons.

I hope this helps.

Rightclick on your desktop > Personalize > Lefthand pane choose 'Change
destop icons'.
