Recycle Bin REALLY is messed up

I can not empty the recycle bin by clicking the "Empty the Recycle Bin" button in Explorer. Also, the desktop icon always shows full. YES! - I have deleted the recycle bin and had it rebuild YES! - I even did it from an "Administrator Command Prompt" in DOS. YES! - I went to "Personalize - Desktop Icons" and reset them. I have tried everything I could find posted on the internet to get my empty icon to look normal and have the "Empty the Recycle Bin" button in Explorer work again. The Restore button works! I can right click a file in the recycle bin and select delete and it goes away. I have even added a "Empty the Recycle Bin" option to the right click menu in Explorer and it works fine. I can choose a different icon for Empty Recycle Bin on the desktop, but it NEVER changes! I know all of this is because some line is missing in the Registry. I just don't know what line it is. Same problems no matter which user is signed on. I can use and empty the Recycle Bin, but I find the desktop icon and non-functioning button to be ........ ANNOYING!
