oh, and when I click on the recycle bin download button, all it does is download a .tmp file

[dariel24]

hmm there's something wrong, it supposed to be the .exe file. and i'm not sure where in which computer and hard drive i put the file in, so i cant reupload it

You can also change the icon through Right-Click\Properties\Desktop\Customize Desktop. You can download icons at iconarchive.com.

Where'd you get the wallpaper? A digital-art collector like myself would kill for such a glorious image.

Now, you don't even have to go into regedit! Simply copy n' paste the following code into notepad, and save it as Recycle Bin Renamer.bat. Yes, include both "::::" just to make sure you get the whole code.

Make sure the name is:

Recycle Bin Renamer.bat

[Arbitror]
