Crate win_desktop_utils 

Windows-first desktop utility helpers for Rust apps.

This crate provides small helpers for common Windows desktop-app tasks: opening files and URLs, revealing items in Explorer, sending files to the Recycle Bin, enforcing single-instance behavior, resolving app-data directories, and dealing with elevation.

Example

fn main() -> Result<(), win_desktop_utils::Error> {
    let path = win_desktop_utils::local_app_data("demo-app")?;
    assert!(path.ends_with("demo-app"));
    Ok(())
}
