| Post subject: | Empty Recycle Bin button  |
I'd like to add a custom button to empty the Recycle Bin. I've added the following code to the Registry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\shell\empty\command] "DelegateExecute"="" @="nircmd.exe emptybin" What should be the syntax in Classic Explorer -> custom button? Thank you. |

Windows doesn't have a command line process to empty the Recycle Bin but you can use bin.exe from here: http://www.maddogsw.com/cmdutils/ or emptyrecyclebin.exe from here: http://www.optimumx.com/downloads.html#EmptyRecycleBin Disclaimer: Classic Shell does not bear any responsibility for third party software recommendations. |

Thank you. I appreciate your help. With your help in another post, I've written the following script in AutoHotkey: #NoTrayIcon FileRecycleEmpty SoundPlay, %A_WinDir%\Media\Windows Recycle.wav, wait I could have used one of your links or "nircmd.exe emptybin". http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html My question is how to use the parameter "emptybin" in Classic Explorer -> Custom toolbar button (Command or Link). (I prefer the script. I'm just curious as to using parameters in CS). |

Oh ok great! If you're a pro with AutoHotkey, then it's even better as it won't show a console window.  You enter the parameters right after the executable path in the Command field. Make sure you enclose the path in double quotes and then enter the parameters. e.g. "C:\Windows\Nircmd.exe" emptybin You can also use %1, %2 etc. %1 is the path of the current folder. Keep in mind that if the current folder is a root of a drive it will end with a backslash (like C:\) %2 is the path of the selected file (only when a single file is selected). Rest of them are documented in the help file. |
