How to let Windows recognize a folder as Recycle Bin?

106 views Asked by At

I have a FAT32 MicroSD card, where my device creates a folder named '$Recycle.Bin' in the root, with hidden+system attributes set, but Windows doesn't recognize it as a real recycle bin (with the correct icon, etc.).

How can I trick Windows into seeing the folder as genuine bin?

I am writing firmware for the device (an ARM datalogger), that has to create the folder using the FATFS library in C. I could ask for example code, but I can write the code myself if someone can point me in the correct direction. All forms of the answer are welcome.
