Hi kkoch,

I am running XP Home edition and my recycle bin icon changes to
default icon upon reboot.


Has anyone else had this problem?
Is there a fix?

A contributor to the newsgroup found this solution a few days ago. I
have tried it and it works:
"I found that when a scheduled task was run, winlogon.exe
(running as SYSTEM) was executing:

"CreateKey
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Clsid\"

and this was overwriting the info stored there with the info found
here:

"HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\"

The workaround is to modify the permissions for

"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Clsid"

so as to deny SYSTEM Set Value permissions. The nice part is, you
don't have to deny yourself any
permissions and can customize the icons & apply saved themes as
normal."

Good luck
