system or XY? i once had a situation where XY didn't show Recycle Bin -it was due to me renaming it "strangly"

Hi eil,

No the system and other file managers I have installed can find the recycle bin no problem.

"The system cannot find the path specified" is the error message I get inside XY when I try to access the RB.
The weird thing is that if I delete a file in XY and than undo the operation the file is restored (it was not the case until recent versions of XY).

I also tried Highend script while in the RB broken view and it opens "My Documents" (?).

Weird

RB = special folder...

In your address bar you'll probably see: "Recycle bin" instead of the real path
X:\$RECYCLE.BIN\

That's the issue the script doesn't behave correctly.

replace
with

@Steel, try this: type "::snippet" in address-bar and paste code:

Hi eil thanks for the help.

OK before I understood what was supposed to happen I created about a dozen new RB buttons

Anyway when I click on them I get the same error message.

i give up. try to check it with "clean XY"(copy only XY and XYcopy files to some folder and launch) and if it happens there too, then most probably there something in your system..

Hi eil,

I am sorry but I don't understand what you want me to try: do you mind rephrasing it?

As for my system if there was something wrong I think the problem should happen in other file managers and Windows Explorer too.

Thank you

try to copy only XY.exe and XYcopy.exe to some other folder and launch those there.
well, you see once i had a situation- i renamed "Recycle bin" to ","(yeah, comma) and as a result XY didn't save it in tree = maybe there is some similar thing in your situation, denying XY to get access to RB normally.(maybe some 3d party soft)

Hello Eil,

I tried your suggestion but i get an error message that it says "XY cannot run as a standalone".

I don't think I changed anything regarding the RB.
The only thing I did is move the default folders (Documents, Music etc.) on a Data partition but I doubt that should be a problem as the system finds them correctly.

Thank you

Hello Highend,

Sorry I completely missed your post.

I did try your second script too but it doesn't work either probably due to the same problems that don't let me see the recycle bin inside XY.

Oh well hopefully it will get fixed with the x64 version.

Thank you anyway.

@Steel: Looking back in this thread, I don't think you were successful in running XYplorer with a clean profile. Does this official FAQ make the steps clearer?

From your description, it sounds like you tried to run XYcopy.exe instead of XYplorer.exe, which indeed can't be run standalone: its sole mission currently is to support background processing.

FWIW, and I know this doesn't help you at the moment, I'm running XYplorer on Windows 7 x64 SP1 with full access to the Recycle Bin and XYplorer's Undo, so it is possible. It would help with understanding your problem, if you could report whether XYplorer still can't use the Recycle Bin when running with a clean profile.

Hi nas8e9 thank you for the help.

I am quite positive I tried to run both exe but I tried again with xyplorer.exe and this time it launched the application.
Unfortunately even with the clean profile my XY still cannot locate the Recycle Bin.

I'd just like to say that I'm hoping for a 64bit version within the next 2 years, because using the sysnative trick/folder is very limited.
I chose to use 64bit Windows in order to be able to use more RAM - because I do a lot of media work, and 4GB is just not enough for multitasking with huge applications, and I need a good file manager to keep me sane when dealing with files.

Isn't 64bit the future anyway? Couldn't the developer remake a 64bit version in a different language like C++ or etc.? Not very likely but it's a possibility. A 64bit compiler for Visual Basic would be pretty neat though, and greatly appreciated and utilized I'd imagine.
