Summary

SHFILEOPSTRUCT - Sructure for SHFileOperation

.

Under x64, the SHFILEOPSTRUCT must be declared without the Pack = 1 parameter, or it will fail. This is a real pain if you want your code to be platform independent, as you have to declare two separate structures, one with Pack = 1, and one without. You then have to declare two different SHFileOperation calls, one for each of the structures. Then you have to decide which one to call depending on whether you are running on 32 or 64 bit.

.

If you are interested in this you might want to use the SHFileOperation to move things to the recycle bin.
