Vista - Recycle bin still stays filled up after emptying it !

Recycle bin still stays filled up after emptying it !

I do not know if anybody else experiences this problem or if it is a problem
at all and I should not worry!

I have my "recycle bin icon" on my desktop and when I empty my recycle bin,
is not the "bin icon" supposed to show itself as empty?

It's just that my one still shows itself as full of litter even after I have
emptied the recycle bin!

Is this normal? If not, could anyone out there share a little light on this
problem of mine and tell me what the problem is and how I put this right?

Thanks for your input SIW2 but I have found out how to do it now: right
click anywhere blank on the desktop> personalise> change desktop icons>
check recycle bin> apply>ok
