    I decided to download and use a customized icon for my trash. Everything is fine except that when I empty the trash, the icon does not revert to empty ... or when I fill it, it does not revert to full. Not until I right click desktop and click on "Refresh." I downloaded both the empty icon and the full icon so shouldn't it automatically change just like it does for the default icon?

    :)

    Customized Trash Icon Will Not Change Between Empty/Full in Windows 10

    Hello,

    I have a question ... I customized my empty/full trash icons by using some that I found online. They are absolutely .ico files, and I am able to select different icons used for the trash folder by following the general, expected steps (i.e. right click on
    the desktop, select "personalize", select "themes", select "desktop icon settings", etc.).

    The problem is that if I choose icons saved in a personal icon folder that I created, the icons don't change back and forth when the trash is filled or emptied (or if it does change, it takes a
    CRAZY long time to do so). Conversely, if I choose any icons out of the .dll folders, they will change right away ... as in
    the second the trash is filled or emptied.

    Does anyone know why it is taking so long for the computer to make the change (if it even bothers) between the icons NOT in the .dll files, as opposed to the ones that are? I've even tried moving copies of the relevant icons into the System32 folder, but it
    doesn't speed anything up. Conversely, is there a way I can add them to a .dll file or create one without having to buy additional software?

    To refresh you need the second link Brink shows.
    In short, open Regedit, go to(copy & paste in Regedit' s addressbar)
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon

    and add a .0(comma zero) after each key.

    Then save the key in Regedit' s Favorites as you'll most likely need it again:

    Lastly you might want to save your current theme.

    You're welcome.
    And remember, you need to do this when ever you use a new/different Recycle Bin icon.
    As you see in the registry, it use the .ico name & the path.

    I've tried different trash icons in the past and never could get anything to work so just let it go. I finally decided I was going to see if I could get a solution to whatever I was doing wrong. So this was great information you shared with me. I already tried a couple of different icons and they all worked following the instructions here.
