|
|
Good day, everyone.
Needed to where I could look with AHK to find the listing for a target system's Recycle Bin locations.
I know that FileRecycleEmpty is taking this info from somewhere; I just don't know where/how to access it...
Tips, anyone?
Thanks!

@SKAN:
Good information on those "INFO" files: Seems to be a lot like the whole "index.dat" mess with IE
All interesting enough, but not what I was after:

Any other thoughts?

@Mustang:
Thanks for the input.
Yep, I'm familiar with DriveGet. Handy...
While that'll get us an inventory of the system's drives, what if someone has decided to keep their bit bucket somewhere other than at the root of each partition?
In sum, I guess that this approach would give us what we need IF Windows cannot be persuaded (through a reg hack or otherwise) into placing "Recycled" somewhere else in the tree...
