empty the recycle bin with a .bat

[dworley]

I am running windows XP professional.

I want to empty the recyle bin using a .bat file...

OR if anyone knows the path to the recycle bin, that would work too... (for some reason it isn't C:/recycled)

Thanks,
Darryl

(for some reason it isn't C:/recycled)

The reasons for that are

1. NO paths in Windows use forward slashes! 
2. It's c:\Recycler

1) I know. It was a freakin' typo
2) That's all well and good, but it's inaccessible through windows OR cmd (I can get to the path, but it doesn't work right...)
