You might not believe this, but I don't drink. I just don't like the 
taste of alcohol...

That's what I was thinking too. But try once the shell API 
SHFileOperation() - it will work somehow, but not everything will work 
as expected.

That's why I don't just want to jump in there and start changing code. I 
first want to test the whole changes - especially for the shell 
extension part. A crash in the main part isn't that bad, but if the 
shell extension crashes, the whole desktop process goes down with it!
