The Shell Recycle Bin

[Lost User]

How can I determine if this is empty/full and have the ability to empty it? I already know that there are shell extension APIs for version 4.71 of Shell32.dll, but this requires that you use the IE extended desktop environment. Normally NT and its rug rats 95 and 98 use version 4 of this DLL. These procaddrs are not in the older DLL. There must have been an "old way" to do this that I can use for existing users and non-IE folks. Anyone know? Thanks! Bob

Try looking at SHFileOperation

================== The original message was: Try looking at SHFileOperation Whoops! Thanks for your reply, but SHFileOperation is used to remove a file *into* the recycle bin, not query the state of the recycle bin. Thanks for your trouble anyway!
