Recyle Bin

[baderms]

I'm trying to move a file to the recycle bin as apposed to deleting it using the SHFileOperation API. I've found many older examples, but none of them work with win 7. Does anybody have anything. Win 7 is 64 bit, but Office 2010 is 32. This was done by chip and is basicaly the same as all the other code I've found. I'm using the recycle routine.

' modRecyle
' This module contains code for recycling file or folders to the Recycle Bin.
' The procedure Recycle will recycle any file or folder with no restrictions. The
' procedure RecycleSafe prevents recycling files that are marked as System files
' and prevents the following folders from being Recycled:
'   This File
'   Any root directory
'   C:\Windows\System32
'   C:\Windows
'   C:\Program Files
'   My Documents
'   Desktop
'   Application.Path
'   ThisWorkbook.Path
' These restriction apply only to the folders. You can still delete any individual
' folder within these protected directories.
'
' The file specification provided to either function must be a fully qualified path
' on the local machine. Partial paths and paths to remove machines are not allowed.

This does work, thanks, but not what I was looking for as ISHFileOperation does a lot more.
