Windows 95 Recycle Bin piece.
Made with Windows 95 running in DOSBox, running in Windows XP, running in Parallels on my Mac (it kept crashing with the Mac version of DOSBox).
These Recycle Bins are actually shortcuts to an empty folder on the root drive, with their icons changed. Normally, shortcuts are marked with a little arrow in the lower left corner of the icon, but I deleted some things in the Windows registry to disable those. I think Tweak UI has that option as well, but I didn’t have it installed.
Each fake Recycle Bin has a unique number of spaces in its filename.
Maybe I should do another piece with trash cans in Macintosh System 7.
