I want a Plugins that can Empty Recycle Bin,
When I click the TLB menu,the Recycle Bin will be emptied.

You can put a shortcut to the recycle bin in TLB but it's true that an option to empty the recycle bin (maybe on clicking on the icon) would be great...

Actually you can make this without plugins:
1) Create shortcut to Recycle Bin
2) Right-click Recycle Bin shortcut select "Appearance" submenu and click "Button Properties"
3) In the "Default command" write empty
and press OK. Now every time you click the Recycle Bin shortcut TLB empty it.

An additional tip for those who have/use CCleaner: Open Notepad and copy the text in the code box to it. Save it as ccleaner.bat
Code:
@echo off cd c:\ cd program files cd CCleaner ccleaner.exe /AUTO exit
and place it in your CCleaner folder. Then right-click the Recycle Bin icon in TLB and select Properties. In the Target field put in "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\ccleaner.bat" (with quotes). Now upon clicking the icon one should get CCleaner to do its job.

I can't make this work if the recycle bin is in a virtual folder. I have the recycle bin inside "My Computer" and a virtual folder pointing to My Computer. I set the default action to empty, but when I click it opens the recycle bin in Explorer instead of emptying it. Is this a bug or intended behavior?

Thanks for this "hack". I like it. However at my work computer when I select this I get two dialog boxes popping up. The first one asks me if I want want to Move Items and presents me a folder tree. I cancel that. The second one is the same except it says Copy Items. I cancel that too. Then the empty recycle bin action happens.

While I don't believe this is a TrueLaunchBar issue it's an Explorer issue and I thought you guys might know the answer of how to fix this.
