Solved My recycle bin icon won't refresh automatically.

I download or COPY a dll & put it in a folder to itself.
No messing around with existing windows dlls.
I copied shell32.dll & renamed it so there would be no conflict withe the original.
I renamed it My_own.dll.

LOL
Be careful not to download a virus or some bad dll with that technique.

That's why I make my own when possible. I don't always trust the web with dll's.
Copying backups is OK.

I have so much anti-virus & protection I mainly don't need to worry.
I BOUGHT my stuff & got full protections.
For example I googled for something & clicked on the link & Avast popped up saying it was known for viruses & other crap, back off & do not continue.
I can also test things online before I download them.
This protection COST me but is well worth the price I paid.

Alright.

Have fun making icons!

I can design my own or use an existing image & transform it to .ico with IrfanView & go from there.
I use several image editing programs to manipulate images so I can get a good image to make an .ico from.
