_EmptyRecycleBin UDF

[Matrix112]

Hi,

i wrote this UDF to learn the use of DLL Call. It´s not very useful but a good example.

It works, but there is one bug, option 1 won´t work and if i choose 0 it asks if i want to delete a desktop.ini in my Recycle bin.

ERecycleBin.au3

;======================================================================================
;
; Function Name: _EmptyRecycleBin($flag)
; Description: Use this function to empty the recycle bin.
; Parameter(s): $flag. Normal=0 No Confirmation=1 No Progress UI=2 Nosound=4
; Requirement(s): Include ERecycleBin.au3
; Return Value(s): none.
; Author(s): Matrix112 <ch.krogmann@gmx.de>

;======================================================================================
;
Func _EmptyRecycleBin ($flag)
$path = @HomeDrive
DllCall("shell32.dll","none","SHEmptyRecycleBinA","hwnd",0,"str",$path,"long",$flag)
EndFunc

Example:

#include <ERecycleBin.au3>

$empty = _EmptyRecycleBin (0)
Exit
