Recycle Bin Icon not restoring to Windows XP Default

Wednesday, December 8, 2010 by BigDogBigFeet | Discussion: MyColors

Okay so I use MyColors on a Windows XP computer and for awhile it would restore to the XP default icons through MyColors.  Now the only icon that won't restore to XP default is the recycle bin.

I have tried to use XP display properties to restore it. (right click screen, choose Properties, Desktop, Customize Desktop and restore the recycle bin icons full and empty).  However this method fails now and the theme icon remains.

So... any ideas how to fix this???

Well, my solution was to reboot and then select a different MyColors theme.  I had originally Sins of a Solar Empire on and I switched to Halloween then back to XP and that did it.  The stuck SoaSE Recycle Bin icon became unstuck.

A clear case of "Go and Sin no more." 

Thanx, BDBF!
