Hello Tdk,

I'd like to help you, but I do not really understand what you're looking for.

On my XP machine there is a folder "RECYCLER" on every windows-partition, where the system stores all that's marked for deletion. Turn on in Explorer "show hidden and system files", then you will see them.
Can't test on Win7 at the moment.

Hi bornsoft,

I know that texists another recycle bin folder under application data,

Thankyou again

Sorry, not on my system (XP SP3) under Application Data.

The User's shell folders can be found in registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider

you can find the Users profile id as a subkey.
This is the number which is used as sub-folder in <Drive>:\RECYCLER to store deleted files.

I doubt this is really helpful for you. If you'd tell what you're trying to do, maybe I could help you better.

I can only point you to the Windows api method, I don't know how to do it in VDS, as I mostly use delphi and c# now; but I assume you can load windows dll's to do this.

Use the windows api SHGetSpecialFolderPath function passing the CSIDL_BITBUCKET parameter in for the csidl to get the recycle bin location.

You can get many other folders this way as well, here is the list of csidl's: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762494(v=VS.85).aspx
