Can you please post a screenshot of your desktop highlighting/circling the icon you are trying to change?

Reason I ask is because you didn't specify which Winstep application you are running (Nexus free, Nexus Ultimate, Winstep Xtreme) and Winstep Xtreme supports two types of Recycle Bin modules, the in-icon one and a desktop one.

Also, what have you tried thus far to change the icon?

In the Desktop Items window, select either the "Recycle Bin (full)" or "Recycle Bin (empty)" folder and click the Change Icon button. Select an icon from the list of available icons, or click Browse and select an icon file on your computer. Click OK on each open window to save the icon change.

Yes, that will work for the in-dock icon of the recycle bin module, but not for the desktop version of the same module (unless you have it set to display as an icon) if he is running Xtreme.

If he is trying to change the icon for the recycle bin module in a dock, for instance, he can also right click the item, select 'Dock Entry Properties' and click 'Change icon' (or the can do it from the Modules tab in Preferences as you suggested).

Lots of ways to skin a cat, but it wasn't clear which module version he was trying to change the image for (or what Winstep application he's running). Details are important. :D

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was referring to changing the icon on the Windows desktop! (Knowing how out of place queries here can be sometimes, alas. :| )

The way the question was phrased I wouldn't be surprised either.

Possible, but none of the email addresses was found in StopForumSpam.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything. It's really more in the nature of advertising indirectly. The user name is the same as the website name. It's a site selling services to students wanting to study abroad. If that's not fishing for trade I don't know what is.

Well, evidently also a Nexus user but that doesn't alter the fact that he's still advertising. At the very least, the website link should be removed from his profile and a stern warning given, offering him the chance to open an account with a different user name before deleting this one. At least, that's how I'd handle it and how I've experienced it before elsewhere.

That I do not mind, for instance, as long as the link does not go to a shady site. What I mind are bots pretending to be human and wasting everyone's time.

Hmmm.... Shady site or not, surely any kind of commercial site constitutes spam or advertising. And as such, surely we should mind? Also, I don't see the difference between spam bots and human spammers, each as bad as the other - spam is spam is spam.
