Meaginn,

Was just checking because its an API used in programming

The VB.NET code is:

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

<DllImport("Shell32.dll")> _
Private Shared Function SHUpdateRecycleBinIcon() As Int32
End Function

Then call the following code behind the button:

SHUpdateRecycleBinIcon()

The above code will change the icon to the default recycle bin icon once
empty

Attached to this post is a VB.NET application I wrote especially for you
that runs with the .NET Framework 1.1. You will see your name in the help |
about box & also when you right-click the application | properties | version
| comment

The application empties the recycle bin silently & no confirmation & updates
the icon

Feel free to distribute it but remember I own the copyright & you need the
..NET Framework 1.1 to run it

To download the file attached you need to be using Outlook Express as your
newsreader

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/support/newsgroups/howto.mspx

The above will show you how to configure it so if you want you can download
the attachment I created especially for you

I hope this helps,

Wesley,

There are many ways to do this but sometimes creating a text doc then
deleting to recycle bin then deleting the recycle bin sometimes works,
but
another way is this:

Create a new Shortcut
Paste in this line:
%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHUpdateRecycleBinIcon
Click NEXT
Click FINISH

Now double-click the icon when the recycle bin is empty, which should
replace the recycle bin icon to the correct one

Please note: If this doesn't work then its because its a Win32 API & is
used
in programming, but the LockWorkstation function in the User32.dll
doesn't
take any parameters & returns an Integer just like this function so it
should work This function is held within the Shell32.dll

Please post back your findings

Cheers,

Try this first.

Right click the Desktop | Click Properties | Click the Desktop tab |
Click the Customize Desktop button | Click on the Recycle Bin (full)
icon
|
Click the Restore Default button | Scroll over to the right and click
on
the
Recycle Bin (empty) icon | Click the Restore Default button

Restore Default button:
[[Click to use the Windows default icon for the selected desktop
item.]]

You may have to reboot, I have no idea.

If that doesn't work, go here...

Read the instructions at the top.
Scroll down to...
