I don't know much about the .ico format, but maybe it's possible to have multiple images contained within a .ico file? It looks like the ",0" means "index 1". ",1" would be "index 2", and ",2" would be "index 3", and so on.

Unless that's not how .ico files work.
That's what I was thinking too. The default recycle bin .dll has indexes of ,-55 and ,-56.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-WIN7-Recycle-Bin-23746719 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 08:20:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-WIN7-Recycle-Bin-23746558

here is screenshot of that reg key.. note there is no " ,0 " for either key yet when I delete something the trash icon changes to the full and when I empty the recycle bin the icon reverts to the "empty" icon - no refresh needed.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

Seems Windows 7 won't refresh custom icons if they are .ico files. The problem was reported for beta and still does not work.

So here is what you do:

Go to Search Programs and type in regedit and then start it up by clicking on it.

Then find this key in your registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon

full=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\bluemoon\full.ico,0

empty=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\bluemoon\void.ico,0

Second, the above key shows a comma and 0 after the example .ico files. Yours won't have the comma and 0 so you must add to make it look like the above values. So click on the reg entry (See picture below) right click it and the select modify. Now add the comma and zero then click Okay and when done exit regedit,

And that will fix the problem.

It's been doing it for 2 weeks since I did a clean install and then changed the icons.

I changed the Desktop Recycle Bin icon through the Desktop Icon settings window (see below). I made a folder named Icons in c:\Windows and put my icons there. Then I went and changed them.

Now when I delete something the Recycle Bin doesn't show the full icon but if I refresh the Desktop it changes to the full icon. Same when I go to empty it, the icon doesn't change unless I refresh the Desktop. I rebuilt the icon cache but that didn't help any.

The monitors refresh is set at 75hrz and the video card is a Nvidia 9500. Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

Anyone have an idea or solution?
