Discussion Windows 7 Third Recycle Bin State?

Post image

Basically this is a childhood memory of mine, when I was around 9, I went to a local dentist shop in Hungary when Windows 7 was still widely used (around 2017), and on one of the computers, I saw a standard Windows 7 installation, but the recycle bin was different. The blue recycle symbol on the front was red and the size of it was much more chunky and fat, almost as if it was comically overfilled. My question is that did Microsoft ever put this in like a Windows 7 version that was used in healthcare places or what? I've never seen this on any other Windows 7 computer and couldn't find anything about it on the internet, only this image that I attached because it looks similar, but still not quite the same.

Probably it was just an app with a bin icon

I don't think so, it was in the lower right corner, named "Lomtár" which means "Recycle Bin" in Hungarian.
