Checking if a file exists in the Recycle Bin

Hello everyone,

Last week I posted a topic to get the current users SID to build a path to their Recycle Bin on disk (C:\$Recycle.bin\<SID>). I got the answer I was looking for, but as it turns out, aqFile.Exists() doesn't work for the recycle bin, as files are actually stored with a temporary name, and not the name they had when outside the recycle bin.

So, my new problem is this: Part of our regression testing requires that we verify deleting an item within our application moves it to the Recycle Bin. However, I don't know how to actually verify that the file exists in that directory. I read in a different topic that it's not a good idea to actually map items in Explorer, as this can cause failures on different versions of Windows.

Has anyone had any success verifying that a file is now in the recycle bin within TestComplete (KeywordTests or Script)?

Thanks for your time,

Matt
