move to recycle bin

Comment:
I try to make a batch file for all Windows systems and need to delete files in the way, that they are moved in the recycle bin.
How can I target the recycle bin? I cannot find an environment variable for it. move file.ext C:\RECYCLED doesn't work either.
Or does anyone now a command line utility for it? Delete97 or DeleteXP didn't work for me on two XP machines I tested it.

This works in w2k:
move file.ext C:\RECYCLED
Not obvious why it would be much different in XP.
But before you go to all the trouble to tweak up the batch, keep in mind that a file moved at the ptompt to the recycle bin is not 'recylclable' because Windows didn't track the move.
