Thanks for the post, Doug.

Is there a local Windows system event that fires when the user issues the
command to delete a file/directory? If so, I may be able to trap/handle it
in my code.

Or is this something that can only be done by peeking at Microsoft's source
code? :-)

Thanks,

Eric

When you delete files from a network share, they never go in the Recycle
Bin. This is by default. And no, its either or.
