    Cool Deleting Files On Server

    Just curious.. but when you delete a file, which is stored on a another comp (server), will it be sent to that computers recycle bin?

    If so, will it still be sent to the recycle bin if I use a batch file to remove the file?

    Thanks in Advance.

    I found out the hard way and that is no!!!!

    Eg if using network neighbor*** things (cant spell it and cant be bothered) then deleting a file on a foreign computer will permanently remove it

    Only Explorer sends files (and only local files on Hard disks) to the Recycle Bin usually.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    For obvious reasons. The SMB (Server Message Block) protocol used by the WIndows Networking has no way to find where any "Recycle Bin" may be.

    I never had a local Recycle Bin, anyway, I just didn't delete things I might need

    How easy would it be for them to monitor a folder do you reckon?

    Difficult, because it might not be Windows on the other end...

    Ah, but the protocol doesn't really know that. It just sends a message and gets some back

    It's very easy to monitor folders on servers. There are many utilities out there that can send alerts when folder contents change. With Visual Basic.NET you can make your own with the FileSystemWatcher class.
