FileRecycleEmpty On Windows NT 4.0?

[ZenKensei]

Group,

Maybe I missed something in the help file, but I cannot get the FileRecycleEmpty function to work on a Windows NT 4.0 workstation with Internet Explorer 5.5 installed. I have tried specifying the drive directly and leaving the drive designation out completely. The same commands work on Windows XP without issue. Am I missing something here?? Is there a work around for this?

Thanks,

ZK

First off if you could please post the code that isnt working. In the mean time I will look into the helpfile and see if I can find any issues with FileRecycleEmpty() and Win 2k.

Edit: I have been unable to find that it would have any issues. Maybe one of the developers will be able to shed some more light on this situation.

Thanks,

Sorry for the oversight JS, the actual code I tried was just a simple one line code of:

FileRecycleEmpty()

or

FileRecycleEmpty("C:\")

Both of these worked as expected in Windows XP (and I assume it would in Windows 2000, though I do not have a Win2k workstation to test it on). However when I run the code on my Windows NT 4.0 workstation with IE 5.5 it does not empty the recycle bin and yet I receive no errors.

Thanks,

Ah... Win NT 4.0 I dont think has the same integration with IE as WinME + has. So for it to work I would think it would need to have an aditional feature of somesort in the C++ coding. I may be wrong in this assumption, but that is my first thoughts on it now that I realize it is an NT 4.0 system.
