Hi,
I just tried it on vista and it works great... 
Do you have another vista to test it on?

...are you saying you "just tried it" & now your icon is gone too?...& you can't get it back?
Some guesses (since I would NEVER buy/install Vista {ReactOS FTW! [eventually]})...
- perhaps Vista has a "feature" of hiding the icon when it's empty? create a nonsense file on the desktop 1.txt, delete it, use the AutoHotkey code...
| Code: | ;//Warning: Use at your own risk on Vista!!! (until we confirm an undo method)
;//(also can someone look in other Recycle Bin places like My Computer or C:\...is it gone from the Desktop or everywhere?)
FileRecycleEmpty, C:\ |
...notice the icon disappear?...then create another 1.txt & delete it, does the Recycle Bin come back? If so, then you need to see if this is a "feature" that can be disabled.
Otherwise if it's just a weird bug, try this to get the icon back (& never run that script again on Vista)...btw these steps are for Win XP, since, again, I don't have Vista...OK...I knew that the My Computer & other icons could be shown/hidden on the Desktop, but it appears Recycle Bin is not one you can hide (on XP)...here are steps to the dialog in case it is an option in Vista...
Right-click the Desktop (not on any icon) -> Properties (or I think it's Personalize on Vista) -> Desktop tab -> Customize Desktop... ...this is where there are checkboxes for My Computer & stuff are & you can change the icon for full/empty Recycle Bin but no checkbox for hiding it altogether (perhaps that's it? a blank icon for empty, but it's really still there??? try right-clicking where the Recycle Bin was, when it was there...do you get the right-click menu for the Recycle Bin or for the Desktop?)...next step Google!... |

Nop i am saying that everything is working great and the function does what its suppose to do and empties the recycle bin.
The icon is still there.
