Hi

Rightclick somewhere on the desktop, select Properties, Desktop. Find the
Icon representing your Recycle Bin, select: Change Icon. Click OK

Best regards

I forgot:

After Desktop, select Customize Desktop and after Change Icon you have to

Right click on the Desktop and select Properties.
Select Desktop Tab
Select "Customize Desktop"
Make sure General tab is selected.

Select the Icon/s you wish to change "Change Icon"
Then browse to the Icon/s of your choice.
