Recycle Bin Icon

[JamesJ]

I changed the values in the registry for the DefaultIcon Key for
the Recycle Bin. I know I shouldn't delve into this area of the
Registry but I need a suggestion.

I find that on occasions when xp starts the Recycle Bin Icon reverts to the
default icon, which is the empty bin, even though there are items in
the recycle bin. On other occasions it shows being full even though
there isn't any items in it.

Currently these are the registry values for the DefaultIcon Key for the
Recycle Bin:

(Default)...... 101
Empty........ 101
Full.............102

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
James
