Re: Recycle bin icon wont change

Hi Mikey,

Open My Computer. Locate the Hard Drive containing the operating system.
Right-click the Drive and click Properties. Click Tools. Schedule a Chkdsk
to run a Boot. For just a Recycle Bin problem, only just check the first
option. I am answering from XP, had Vista Ultimate RC2 installed.

After option is checked, click Start or OK and answer Yes to Schedule
and reboot to run chkdsk. You can check both options, only adds 2 steps, and
fixes a Free Space problem, if you have one.

Hi Mikey,

This is a refreshing issue with the recylce bin. It usually happens when it is deleted by mistake. This tutorial will show you how to easily fix this problem.

Re: Recycle bin icon wont change

Change the icons to something else and then change them back manually using
"change icons" not " restore default".
