I think this trick is incomplete. You have to do the manipulation on the 2 empty and full baskets if you want to regain normal operation. see the following "in English" site: http://www.askvg.com/solution-recycle-bin-icon-on-desktop-doesnt-refresh-automatically-in-windows-vista/ I have Vista64 be why 😕
