Using Python 2.5.4 on Vista and Windows 7, I get a catastrophic failure with the same code that works on XP SP3
from win32com.shell import shell shell.SHEmptyRecycleBin(None, None, 0) com_error: (-2147418113, 'Catastrophic failure', None, None) In hex, this error is 8000ffff. I tried drive="c:\\" and running as admin.
