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
