Thread: Changing the Recycle bin icon

    Does anyone know how to change the recycle bin icons by changing the registry using VB?
    I have had some success with other shell icons but not the recycle bin. I can't do folders yet also so if anyone has any ideas on this one please let me know.

    Thanks.

    Just to provide a little more info.
    From digging around I have found out that some programs store the modified icons at the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons

    I think this might be something to do with Microsoft Plus!
    but I can't be sure.

    Since plus includes themes with custom icons, I am assuming that you need to modify the registry somewhere to turn custom icons on.

    Does anyone have any ideas?
