Ok, this is what I came up with after doing a little bit of searching. :D
The script below will detect the status of the recycling bin for the current user.

Code:
Loop, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider, 2
  SID = %A_LoopRegName%
Loop, C:\RECYCLER\%SID%\*.*, 1,
   FileFolderCnt = %A_Index%
If FileFolderCnt > 2
   MsgBox, The Recycle Bin is Full
Else
   MsgBox, The Recycle Bin is Empty


For some reason 2 files (desktop.ini and INFO2) are always kept in the C:\RECYCLER\%SID% directory, even if the recycling bin is emptied. BTW Im running Windows XP, so Im not sure if this works on other OS's.

Here's another way (requires ExtractInteger()):
Code:
VarSetCapacity(rec, 64)
EnvGet, d, HomeDrive
DllCall("shell32.dll\SHQueryRecycleBinA", "Str", d, "UInt", &rec)
files := ExtractInteger(rec, 12, false, 4)
MsgBox, Number of files in recycling bin: %files%

Lol... :lol:

So you just want to be able to right click on the recycle bin once and empty it? Is that what your looking for?

Dear Titan, :)

Thanks for that DllCall(). I wanted to give it a try long ago and shyed away from it owing to the structure it required.
I had completely forgot about it until your post!

The following code is slightly improved to display the exact no.of objects as seen in Recycle Bin Window:

Code:
DriveGet, DriveList, List, Fixed
Loop PARSE, DriveList
   Objects += Recycled(A_LoopField . ":\")
MsgBox, % Objects
Return

Recycled(drv="") {
IfEqual, drv,, EnvGet, drv, HomeDrive
VarSetCapacity(rec, 64)
DllCall("shell32.dll\SHQueryRecycleBinA", Str, drv, UInt, &rec)
Return ExtractInteger(rec, 12, false, 4)
}

ExtractInteger(ByRef pSource, pOffset = 0, pIsSigned = false, pSize = 4) {
    Loop %pSize%  ; Build the integer by adding up its bytes.
        result += *(&pSource + pOffset + A_Index-1) << 8*(A_Index-1)
    if (!pIsSigned OR pSize > 4 OR result < 0x80000000)
        return result 
    return -(0xFFFFFFFF - result + 1)
}


:)

Goyyah, you code does the exact same thing as mine :?
Edit: oh I see, it's a function wrapper, nice :)

I think you are looking for the command 'FileRecycleEmpty'.... This will empty the Recycle Bin...

Wow! Ok to start off Im not trying to be mean or rude, but why the heck would you want to be able to just right click on the Recycle Bin once and it empty it, when you could just right click on it and select 'Empty Recycle Bin' from the list? :? I guess you just want to eliminate that very painful mouse movement and extra left click on 'Empty Recycle Bin'. Oh well... Anyways I have figured out EXACTLY what you have been asking for. So enjoy! :D :P

Code:
#SingleInstance Force
#Persistent
#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1
CoordMode, Pixel, Screen
SysGet, SM_CXICON, 11
SysGet, SM_CYICON, 12
ImageSearch, VarX, VarY, 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, *150 *W%SM_CXICON% *H%SM_CYICON% *Icon33 C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll
SM_CXICON := VarX + SM_CXICON
SM_CYICON := VarY + SM_CYICON
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
SetTimer, GetMouseCursorPos, 250
Return
GetMouseCursorPos:
MouseGetPos, VarXX, VarYY
If VarXX between %VarX% and %SM_CXICON%
   If VarYY between %VarY% and %SM_CYICON%
      {
         GetKeyState, State, RButton
         If State = D
            FileRecycleEmpty
      }
Return

really not wanting to be rude but...
I am so bored of such questions...

you can post such question "why the heck dont you do it manually?", "why you want to do such thing?" etc in the 99% of the posts of this forum

I think you can figure out the answer by yourself
yes, some people may get bored to make repeatitive tasks, isnt this the purpose of ahk anyway?

what you find useless, some others may find it useful
at least it wont hurt anyone
