Answer 2

The Recycle Bin is not in programs, and you only need to change the icon.

If you want to change to any Icon other than the ones in your O/S, you need a program to create icons, such as Anytoicon,  http://www.ahasoft.com     or Iconator. (???)

I use the Anytoicon and it works very well.

To change an Icon, Right-click on it, Left click on properties, select Change Icon, Browse to your image file and select. Select OK.

Enjoy,
