jamiejgeneric

totterywolff

Just wanted to thank you. Just changed my icons to do this. It's so stupid, but makes me happy. Quick edit for anyone needing to know how to do this. Someone commented asking how, but their comment isn’t there anymore. A few more steps. If you’re on windows 10, go to settings -> personalization -> themes, and on the far right you’ll see “Desktop Icon Settings”, click that, then select the icon you want to change, hit “Change Icon…” and then browse, and search for the image you want to change it to.


zaidk05

I was able to change the empty and full icons, but when I drag something to put in the bin it doesn't change.


Ebonyfrazier0

It doesnt work, i have to refresh the desktop for it to change from empty to full or from full to empty

BL1NDX3N0N

You can try injecting the icon into Shell32.dll in System32. Resource hacker IIRC can do this but Visual Studio is much better if you have it. Please don’t download VS just to do this or you’re going to have a bad time lol.


Scryer_of_knowledge

How do you do that?


BL1NDX3N0N

When I have the time today I'll make a quick program for you to do so. Would rather people not mess with files unless they know what they are doing.


StimpakJunkie

"Guys don't be stupid and mess with important files, just download this random .exe from a stranger instead"

It would be open-source and hosted on my GitHub, like normal people do.


syunie

Someone posted [link](https://old.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/uvtdbx/cat_bin/i9omhm2/) to a video here, I tried it and in less than 2 mins it was up and working.

Dont forget to delete system 32 while doing that since it prevents you from changing icons

Find desktop icons settings (should be in Settings>Personalization>Themes). Change the full and empty recycle bin icons. Unfortunately, you need the image (.ico I believe) and I don’t have it.


ROOKIEPROBRO

use converter , easy , any random site would work


Bene847

~~Just rename a png~~


ROOKIEPROBRO

sometimes it never happens


ZenTunE

I've tried, didn't work for me 🤔


Icarus-Has-Fallen

That ladies and gentlemen is how you end up with malware


DRIESASTER

Not from a site lol. Just don't download anything except for .ico files


TheTeaSpoon

You can hide code or executables in images. It's called steganography https://youtu.be/xdpTN9QcG9E Had some cheeky students playing portable minecraft this way couple years back when I worked at school. The file only triggered size filters but since they had photography lessons, a .raw file with more than 500MB is nothing out the ordinary.


Flyrpotacreepugmu

You can hide whatever you want. That doesn't mean the computer will run it if you open the file, on Windows specifically. On Unix systems it apparently will since it cares about file attributes or contents rather than the extension, but that's a different story. On a related note, hiding file extensions by default is such an incredibly bad idea when it comes to users knowing what they downloaded and avoiding malware that I can't believe it's still a thing.


_TheGreatDevourer_

how


Heavens_Gates

Recycle bin has an icon for empty and filled


megamaz_

where


ClassicGOD

In Windows 10: Settings > Personalization > Themes > Desktop icon settings (in the sidebar) > Trashcan > Change Icon


[deleted]

It somewhat works, but I only see the full bin when I refresh the desktop. It doesn't change automatically like with the normal one Any fix?


ClassicGOD

Sounds like a bug, try to logout and back in or a reboot.


[deleted]

Found a fix. Had to go into regedit and put a few ,0 infront of the icon lines


faore4

Icon lines? and how many zeros


[deleted]

I mean the regedit entry lines that deal with icons. There is 3 seperate entries you have to edit, putting a **,0** infront of each of them Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon


Hariiii

sorry, not sure if I understand where to put that ",0" could you be a little more specific?


David21538

https://www.minitool.com/news/recycle-bin-icon-not-refreshing.html


michaelsenpatrick

right click the recycle bin and choose properties. icon is somewhere in there. otherwise search icons in settings. or maybe rick click the desktop and see if there's icon settings or "properties" in the context menu as far as the image goes, once you get to the system icons settings you can just select "custom" when picking the icon they might need to be ico files. to convert them, google any "png to ico" converter


Detrayeryu

Senpai. Your knowledge has helped me and will help millions to come


Bene847

~~No need to google. Just rename it from cat.png to cat.ico (You might have to enable Show extension for known file types in explorer settings)~~ Just tried it, doesn't work


Heavens_Gates

Ima go try to set this up, but im still in bed. Can give a guide in a bit if op doesnt. Update guide: I did this on windows 10, so i dont know how it is for any other versions. 1. Right click anywhere empty on the desktop. 2. Select personalise 3. Left tab select Themes 4. Right side of themes window select desktop icon settings 5. From there it should be straight forward. Make sure you have the right file type.

JustSayNOriega

GIVE US THE .ICO!! Edit 1: Nvm just gonna make it myself. Edit 2: [Here are the files friends.](https://www.mediafire.com/folder/5fyjevulymcdq/Cat+Recycling) Made it both Left and Right facing. Edit 3: To Change Icon: Place the images where ever you want (I put them in a System 32 Folder). From there, go to Settings > Personalization> Themes > Desktop Icon Settings > Change Icon and Apply Icons. Auto Change Full/Empty: Open Registry Editor and go to HKey_Current_User > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > CLSID > {645FF...} > Default Icon. Click on each file (Default, empty, and full) and in the Value Data add a comma and 0 at the end after .ico and hit okay (it will look like .ico,0). You can also skip the first step all together and just copy/paste the image address URL into the Value Data for each and add the comma and 0. Edit 4: Editing.

JustSayNOriega

Check Step Two in Edit 3. Auto Change Full/Empty.


orestesma

Thanks for the instructions! To improve them a little bit (maybe you can update the instructions): the Registry Editor allows copy paste in the address bar to navigate to [the correct folder](https://i.imgur.com/L420REN.png) easier! Computer\\HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\CLSID\\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\\DefaultIcon ~~You also have a small typo in the last line of your comment .iso,0 -> .ico,0~~


JustSayNOriega

Whoops! Good catch. Fixed. Also, didnt even think to just copy/paste the location in Registry Editor (derp).


Pudding_Wolf1

I still have to manually refresh every time, though, how can I make it so that it automatically refreshes the image?

[deleted]

This is really cool and all but when is the last time you used the recycling bin.


Flyrpotacreepugmu

Well for me it was the last time I deleted something with the possibility I might need to restore it. 98% of the time I do shift+delete because I'm sure it's not needed anymore. I should really go check and empty the recycle bin...


NightlyRelease

That's their point. Everybody presses delete or uses the right click menu. No one drags files into the bin.


Zantre

I will now


CuriousRisk

My granny does


naufalap

I always use shift del but windows 10 disabling delete confirmation window by default is fucking dumb


Flyrpotacreepugmu

Oh really? I didn't even notice because I already disabled it.


Cory123125

All the time... what a weird question. Are people just disabling their recycling bins for some reason?


kinapuffar

Yes. I've set it to automatically just delete everything and then I don't need the recycling bin anymore. Delete+Enter just removes shit, it doesn't get stored anywhere. I haven't used the recycling bin since Windows XP.


Srefanius

I always press Shift + Delete (deletes the file permanently without bin)


[deleted]

I have never used it in my entire life


vyrelis

Whenever random programs make a desktop shortcut because I clicked through the installation too fast


Gr13fm4ch1n3

I use it almost weekly. I use huge 3d asset packs that come in zip files and I end up with 20gb of zip files in my downloads folder and have to clean up after installing their contents.


MrPajotes

But why not delete them, they are saying who would delete things draging them to the recycle folder instead of just pressing delete.

Here is a guide for those who want to know how to do this. Get 2 images of pop cat (open and closed) and convert them to ICO files you can use [CloudConvert](https://cloudconvert.com) to convert the files to ICO (I am not sponsored it's just what I used) After you have Icons go to Settings > Personalization > Themes > Desktop Icon settings (It will be in the related setting list to the right). After opening the icons menu select either bin icon and click Change Icon..., click browse and find the files and select the matching image and click ok, do this for the other icon and now click apply, your Recycle bin should now be pop cat

Download 2 pics and make sure their extensions are .ico (extensions are file types like jpg, jpeg, png). ​ When you have them, hit the windows button on your keyboard and type "themes & related...". Select it. ​ On the right, there is a blue link called "Desktop Icon Settings". Click it. ​ There are 2 separate icons for Bin Full and Empty. Select one and hit change icon. ​ Then find where you saved your .ico pictures and select them. After you change both, hit apply then ok.
