My recycle bin disapeared and although I was able to right click and choose
the personalize menu to change icons it does not work properly. When I
delete anything the recycle bin icon always looks empty even when there are
deleted files present?

Has anyone experienced this?

Hi James,

Fixing the Recycle Bin icon using "Desktop Icon Settings" is the solution. See:

Many thanks Ramesh. I tried bot methods but neither seemed to work BUT after
a reboot the recycle bin worked.
