The icon for my Recycle Bin on Windows XP (Home Edition) always shows as an
empty bin, even though it is full of recycled stuff. Does anyone know why?

Please note that the bin itself is NOT empty, just that the icon looks like
an empty bin.
 
right click empty spot on desktop. go to properties then desktop-customize
check what cons are chosen for empty and full!

Great fun to swap these for people at work!

Nah, that's not it. The icon of the Recycle Bin seems to alternate between
full and empty, regardless of the contents. For example, now it's showing
as empty, but when I right click on it, look at the properties, and then do
nothing, it shows as full again. It's a bug.
 
I have XP Home, and have not seen this problem.
