Now create folder on your C: drive and name it "Icons", actually you can create this folder anywhere you like and name it whatever you like, alternatively you can even save Icons in System32 folder, drag your recycle bin icons to the "Icons" folder. I downloaded mine from Icon Archive but you are welcome to get them anywhere you like, this is not advertisement for Icon Archive just trying to make your life easier. sadly!Ĭhanging icons is relatively easy and does not require much technical knowledge, only issue you will have after changing your icon is that recycle bin does not refresh anymore and you would have to right click on your desktop and press refresh is order to see correct waste bin status.įirst you will have to download 2 icons from internet, FULL and EMPTY icon and they will have to be ICO files not PNG or any other image file. Changing your recycle bin is only visual and does not boost or change your operating systems performance.


As you know Windows recycle bin icon is very boring and have to be changed immediately :).
