[QUOTE="Zaphire, post: 111550, member: 7393"] An actual Recycle Bin icon that is Rt-Click pinnable to the Taskbar and identical to the other Windows 7/8 taskbar icons can be easily created with the somewhat more complex command line thus: Create a desktop shortcut with this line as the target: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler shell:RecycleBinFolder Complete the shortcut naming it Recycle Bin. Rt-Click it and go to Properties, press the Change Icon... button and select a recycle bin icon from within imageres.dll Close Properties. This icon can be Rt-Clicked and pinned to the regular Windows 7 or 8 Taskbar without needing to install a Quick Launch bar. Pretty well all other program, folder and applet entities can be made pinnable this way and will have all the features of the default Windows Taskbar icons. e.g. Windows Update. Use this command: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler wuapp.exe Sound. " " " %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler mmsys.cpl Computer. " " " %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler shell:MyComputerFolder [/QUOTE]
