    Hi,


    To get the Recycle Bin path from script, you can try to call the SHGetSpecialFolderPath function from shell32.dll. For sample code of calling routines from the shell32 dynamic link library, please see http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=9009.


    To check whether the needed folders exist in Recycle Bin, you can also use the following code:




    Const RECYCLE_BIN = &HA

    Set oShell = Sys.OleObject("Shell.Application")

    Set items = oShell.Namespace(RECYCLE_BIN).Items()

    For Each Item In Items 

        If Item.IsFolder Then

          Set objFolder = Item.GetFolder

          Log.Message objFolder.Title

        End If

      Next

    End Sub
