Fix: Recycle Bin icon does not refresh automatically in Windows 8 / 7


The Recycle Bin icon in Windows is set to display different icons when it is full and when it is empty automatically. If you find that when your Recycle Bin does not refresh but shows the same icon, irrespective of whether it is empty or full, here are some trouble-shooting steps you can try. Hopefully, one of these, should help you.

Recycle Bin icon does not refresh automatically

Before you carry out any of these suggestions, I recommend that you check if your Recycle Bin is corrupted, and reset it, if it is.
1] Check if you have installed any third-party Theme or an Icon Package, and see if uninstalling it makes the problem go away. If so then the problem is in the Theme or Package. Also try switching the theme to Windows Classic theme and them back to Windows Aero default.
2] Right-click Desktop > Personalize > Change desktop icons > Disable / Uncheck Recycle Bin. Then click Restore Defaults. Click OK. Reboot. Now using the same method Enable /Check Recycle Bin, then restore defaults. Click OK. Refresh Desktop. See if it helps.
3] In the ‘Desktop Icons settings’ Dialog Box, check on Recycle Bin and click on the ‘Recycle Bin Empty’ icon. Click on ‘Change Icon’ tab.
recycle-bin-icons
From the new box which opens, select the icon that shows the ‘Recycle Bin Full’.  Do the same for ‘Recycle Bin Full’ icon.  Change it to ‘Recycle Bin Empty’ icon.
In short you are inter-changing the icons.
Now click Apply and check whether, when the Recycle Bin is full, the empty-icon show, and vice versa.
If it does help, go back and again change back the icons, to what they should be, using the same procedure, mentioned above.
4] Use the Group Policy Object Editor. Run gpedit.msc to open the Group Policy Editor. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Remove Recycle Bin icon from desktop > Double click on it > Enable > Apply Reboot.
Next, follow the same above-mentioned steps. But this time instead of ‘Enable’ select ‘Not Configured. See if it helps.
5] Repair or Rebuild the Icon Cache. For this the easiest way would be to download and use our Icon Cache ReBuilder.
6] Check this if you think your Recycle Bin is corrupted.
This post will interest you if you find that your Windows Desktop does not refresh automatically in Windows.

How to Disable&Enable USB Device On Windows


If you’re comfortable working with Regedit, the key you want to go to is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContro>Set\Services\USBSTOR. The value inside that key is Start. To disable USB storage, change Start’s data to 4. To enable it again, change the data to 3.
But let me give you an easier way to change it. Copy and paste the code below into Notepad:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR]”Start”=dword:00000004 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR\Enum]”Count”=dword:00000000”NextInstance”=dword:00000000
The result should look like this:
0727 code example
0727 icons
REG icon on left, TXT icon on right
Now save the file, in a convenient location, and name it disableusb.reg. Make sure it’s saved as a REG file, not a TXT file. You can tell by the icon.
Now repeat the process, with these two variations:
  1. Before you save the file, go to the line that reads ”Start”=dword:00000004, and change the 4 to a 3.
  2. Save the file as enableusb.reg.
Launching disableusb.reg and confirming the change will—you guessed it—disable USB-connected storage. Note, however, that it won’t affect storage already plugged in, but it will block any external drive that is plugged in after you make the change. Launching enableusb.reg will, of course, re-enable it.
How can you keep other people from launching enableusb.reg? You need to have an administrator-level account to change the Registry. Assuming that only you have an administrator account, and that you haven’t shared the password, only you will be able to make these changes.
