I deleted the Recycle Bin by mistake - and then emptied the Recycle Bin, loosing my icon.I did find another one by going the Explorer. But for some reason or other it always shows that it is full (or something is in there) So I went to Properties and changed the icon. Now this icon always shows that it is empty.How can I get a Recylce Bin icon that shows it is empty when it is empty and full when it is full?Thank you

Delete the current recycle bin you have.
Right click on desktop>personalize>left panel>
change desktop icons, check the ones that you want on desktop.

The same exact situation happened to me . . . I followed LoneWolf's
instructions to Mishka, but the problem was not corrected.  Any other ideas?
