Ditto for me on the following question posed by John on May 8. 2008:
Leo, no - the questions about the Recycle Bin not toggling between the icons that show full/empty dynamically are not answered by "selecting the right icon" in the Personalization menu. Once the Recycle Bin icon has been deleted, it seems to lose the logic that allows it to update dynamically (without refreshing the desktop) in response to having contents placed in an empty Bin or having contents deleted from the Bin. We need not just to restore the icon, but to restore the original behavior associated with it. Any ideas how?

In response to the question about the recycle bin not showing full- that is an Icon problem. Go to Desktop Icons screen (see article) and click on Full Reycle bin from picture and then Change Icon and pick the correct one. You can even download Icons and change it to a theme one.

I did the exact same thing. When I tried to put it back on the desktop by dragging it from the Explorer, it does not appear correctly. It appears full when it is not and empty when it is not.

This is the correct solution. Thank again, Leo, again you are right on time!
