OK, I hate the default icons. They are nuggin' fasty. So I want to change the icons. Problem is, the icons don't change unless you refresh the desktop.
I use a blank icon for when the bin is empty. All you see is "Recycle Bin", looks like there's no icon there. The full icon is a full moon. Which means there's stuff in the bin.
I know that you have to run regedit and get into the Registry. Then you have to navigate to the correct keys to slightly modify. I've done it before on XP. Problem is, I can't remember just where you need to go into the Registry. If memory serves, 1 key has to be edited and a zero put on the end. The other one is the same but with a 1.
Please take pity on me and help. I've had a real nasty week. 15hrs trying to repair because an update to hwinfo hosed my system. Had to take it to the shop. $200 later, it's working.
Won't go into details unless someone asks. Trust me, it was a full blown nightmare. Word to the wise. Run as fast as you can, do not walk from Best Buy. Do not pass Go and don't collect $200.
