Make it a desktopX object. you can also empty the recycle bin by clicking on the icon when you use DX. I don't know if you can do it without DX.

You failed to mention what you would like to use to change the icons... the OS's built in interface is right click on the desktop for all Microsoft OS's and then chose properties. select desktop tab... each one is different from that point. are you talking about a specific prog like Icon packager?

In Win2K the Display Properties box (right-click/properties on the desktop) has a tab named "effects". That is where you select the Recyle Bin icons.

Why do they call it the recycle bin? What is the going rate for 1s and 0s these days?

More politically correct than "trash" I guess.
