Obtaining a Drives Recycle Bin's Path...

Kerem Gümrükcü

Hi,

how can i get the pyhsical path to a recycle bin object.
i am working with the FileSystemWatcher Object and i
dont want to handle events inside the recycle bin, because
the FSW Object treats the recycle bin as a folder/file...

Thanks in advance for any hints...
Best Regards

Kerem,

On Windows XP Professional, recycle bin objects are stored in a hidden
folder called "RECYCLER" for each drive on the system, for example
C:\RECYCLER or D:\RECYCLER for C and D drives respectively. If you want to
ignore events from the recycle bin, then ignore any events that originate
from the "RECYCLER" folder.

HTH,
Jorge
