I am using outlook express as my newsreader. how do I find and
download the attachment you created for me? thanks meaginn
:
Meaginn,
Was just checking because its an API used in programming
The VB.NET code is:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
<DllImport("Shell32.dll")> _
Private Shared Function SHUpdateRecycleBinIcon() As Int32
End Function
Then call the following code behind the button:
SHUpdateRecycleBinIcon()
The above code will change the icon to the default recycle bin icon
once empty
Attached to this post is a VB.NET application I wrote especially for
you that runs with the .NET Framework 1.1. You will see your name in
the help | about box & also when you right-click the application |
properties | version
comment
The application empties the recycle bin silently & no confirmation &
updates the icon
Feel free to distribute it but remember I own the copyright & you need
the ..NET Framework 1.1 to run it
To download the file attached you need to be using Outlook Express as
your newsreader

The above will show you how to configure it so if you want you can
download the attachment I created especially for you
I hope this helps,

the recycle bin icon stil shows as full. I thank you for your help I

thanks

Wesley,
There are many ways to do this but sometimes creating a text doc
then deleting to recycle bin then deleting the recycle bin sometimes
works, but another way is this:
Create a new Shortcut
Paste in this line:
%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe
shell32.dll,SHUpdateRecycleBinIcon Click NEXT
Click FINISH
Now double-click the icon when the recycle bin is empty, which
should replace the recycle bin icon to the correct one
Please note: If this doesn't work then its because its a Win32 API &
is used in programming, but the LockWorkstation function in the
User32.dll doesn't take any parameters & returns an Integer just
like this function so it should work This function is held within
the Shell32.dll
Please post back your findings
Cheers,

P.S. 4 mins ago from the time of my reply was the last reported SPAM
from COMCAST.NET, which I know you use
Try this first.
Right click the Desktop | Click Properties | Click the Desktop tab
| Click the Customize Desktop button | Click on the Recycle Bin
(full) icon
Click the Restore Default button | Scroll over to the right and
click on the Recycle Bin (empty) icon | Click the Restore Default
button
Restore Default button:
[[Click to use the Windows default icon for the selected desktop
item.]]
You may have to reboot, I have no idea.
If that doesn't work, go here...

Sorry, my problum may be the icon on my desktop. the icon is a ful
icon and should be an empty icon. I tried to change the icon ,but
that did not work it shows as a full icon. How can I fix this. I
sent something to the recycle bin and was able to empty it but the
icon shows it as full.
