Yes, recycle bin icons are one of the few that can be changed without hacks. In Vista, open the Personalization Control Panel and then click Change Desktop icons by the left side. On XP, open the Display Control Panel and on the tab, where you pick background, click the button by the bottom of the dialog.
Recycle Bin Indicators
Who do you use them
I downloaded the "Recycle Bin Indicators" but can't figure out how to use them (not Who as in my description)
I found that the original icons are in "shell32.dll", do I just try to swap the appropriate Icons. Before I play with this is there a simpler way?
