The command to return an item from the trash to its original location will not work unless that command is issued immediately after putting the item in the trash in the first place. Any intermediate actions will break the connection. If I am wrong, or if there IS a way to return an item at any later time, let me know. Thanks!

I tried changing the icon as well, but I couldn’t do it. With the same image on the clipboard I was able to change the image of another folder. It appears not to work on shortcuts.

Great tip. If I have a trash can on my desktop I’d have another reason to keep it clean.
