CHANGE RECYCLE BIN ICON - EMPTY FULL HOW?

[Martin ©¿©¬]

Hi
In Xp I was able to set the recycle bin icon to change depending on
whether the bin was empty or full
Anyone know how to do this in vista please?

Vista does have a different icon for empty and full.
you want to further customize this and add your own custom icons?

Yes, I would like to have them visually more different
The vista empty and full icons look very similar to me

Right-click a blank space on your desktop and select Personalize. In the
next window go over to the far left and select "Change Desktop Icons".

Yes you are right Martin.. I believe that particular Icon is not designed
well.. (as well as many other things in vista)

here is how you change the icons:

Right click on the desktop and select Personalize> then on the LEFT pane you
will see a link that says CHANGE DESKTOP ICONS

press that, select the icon you want to change and then press the CHange
button
See this screenshot I made for you
