Windows Vista Recycle bin will not refresh correctly

[USAOz]

I am ujsing Windows Vista ultimate (x86).

I accidently deleted my desktop Recycle Bin.

I restored the Recucle bin (Control Panel/Personalise/Change Desktop Icons)

I clicked on Recycle bin (Full) and then clicked on default.

I repeated this operation on Recycle Bin (Empty).

Now, whenever I delete file(s) the Recycle Bin on the desktop shows "Full"
and when I right-click and select Empty Recycle Bin, it empties BUT the ICON
does NOT refresh to show an emptyRecycle bin but stays as a Recycle Bin
(Full) icon.

The ONLY way I can make the desktop icon display the correct status is to
manually force th change by a screen refresh (or F5).

Any ideas or help on how iu can restore normal and correct functionality of
the desktop icon?

This problem occurs if you use the Restore Default button in the Desktop
Icon Settings dialog to reset the Recycle Bin icon. See:
