OK ... I'm reasonably new (2 years) but I think I saw something about
this on the M$ web site some time ago, I think there's a document in the
knowledge base on the subject.

I had this problem also and it drove me nuts.
The Icon I think your talking about is the one on the desktop and it shows
empty;
Well the Icon has to be changed to show full.
Go to Control Panel, then to Display and open Plus tab and change Icon.

The registry keys that control which icons are displayed are:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA00
2F954E}\DefaultIcon\full

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA00
2F954E}\DefaultIcon\empty

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA00
2F954E}\DefaultIcon\default

these are all string values that point to icon files or dll's containing
icons. The default value should be the will be set automatically the
next time you empty or fill the recycle bin. Please ask if you are
unsure how to specify an icon.
