Recycle Bin Help

Somehow when I was wiping off my keyboard I must have renamed my recycle bin
(you know how that stuff happens) ... so I saw that it was numbered. I
renamed it Recycle Bin like it should be. Well when I go into Personalization
> Change Desktop Icons on the top left it shows 2 recycle bins ~ 1 empty and
1 full ... They are both named Recycle Bin and they have (empty) and (full)
underneath the correct ones. The problem is that when I empty the recycle bin
depending on which one is on my desktop, it doesn't change ... in other words
.... it doesn't matter if I have the empty or full one on my desktop ... if I
put something in it and *empty recycle* bin, it doesn't change to empty or
vice versa. In short lol ... what did I do and how do I restore them? I tried
to hit *restore icon* and that didn't work. This is making me nuts ... any
help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi harleynan13,

This is a common problem occurs when you use the "Restore Default" button. Here is an easy fix. See:

Hi harleynan13,
