Windows XP Pro. SP1. Not a big deal but was wondering if
there is a way to restore the icon for the Recycle Bin.
The recycle bin shows on the desktop but no icon. JUst a
generic icon is showing. All other icons are fine. ANy
ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Right click on your desktop and choose properties
Then choose Desktop
Then customize desktop
Then choose recycle bin and click on change icon
You then hit browse
and if you only see a couple of icons type or copy and past this in:

%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
And it takes you to another folder in XP that has more icons..

PS: U can also use tweak UI to repair icons...

Display - desktop page, Customise and you can select the two bin sates
and change icon (or reset to default)
