And lastly, give your shortcut a name. I named mine “recycle-bin”
STEP 4:
Find the following recycle bin icon on your desktop. It will have the following icon and the name you gave it.
STEP 5:
Right click on your newly made icon and select Properties.
STEP 6:
Once you have Properties open, click on Change Icon.
STEP 7:
In the proceeding box, type imageres.dll and click OK. 
STEP 8:
Now, all you have to do is pick out the recycle bin icon or any other icon of your choice that you wish to use. You are free to Click OK and be done.
STEP 9:
Lastly, you will notice the icon has changed. Now simply drag and drop the icon to your desktop and you are done!
STEP 10:
Lastly, this is what the finished icon will look like. When you click on it, you will be able to open the bin and empty it out manually, but sadly you won’t have the ability of right clicking and emptying the recycle bin manually.
