Programatically empty recycle bin? 2

[mmetze]

Is there a way to programatically empty the recyle bin?

I have never had to do it but i'm sure you could do it using the filesystemobject. try something like this

dim fso as filesystemobject

fso.DeleteFile("C:\Recycled\*.*&quot Mark

I never even thought about just deleting the files in the "recycled" directory!

As an alternate approach, I discovered that you can use the SHEmptyRecycleBin API.

Thanks for the tip!
