You can change the Windows NT 4.0 Recycle Bin icons that show when it's full or empty. All you have to do is dig into the Registry a bit. (As usual, we recommend backing up the Registry first).

Let's make a change to demonstrate how this works. Run RegEdit by clicking Start|Run, type in regedit, and press Enter. Now navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}}\DefaultIcon.

Right-click on the Full icon in the right pane and select Modify. Now type in the path and number of the icon you want to use for an empty Recycle Bin and then click on OK.

For an example, let's stick with the current file (shell32.dll) and just choose a new icon. Icon number 56 in shell32.dll shows a folder and a pencil--let's try it. Type into Full:

%SystemRoot%\System32\shell32.dll,56

and click on OK.

Now restart the computer and drag an item to the Recycle Bin to see the new icon.
