"paper basket"

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

Hello all,

I'd like to write some routines, that delete files/directories by using
the "paper basket".

"paper basket" is the English translation of the German name, but is
this really the correct English name? How is this thing called under
Windows, and how under Linux?

With the correct name, maybe I can find the proper Windows API-function.
Or can anyone please tell me, how to do it? Under windows, the "paper
basket" is a special directory. Maybe I just have to move the files to
this directory?
Can a DOS program, that is running under Windows 95+, also use the
"paper basket"?

Thanks in advance, and best regards,
   Juergen
