I am curious as to why there are different error messages when a file does not exist.

If an application attempts to delete a file that does not exist, the DeleteFile function fails with ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

While SHFileOperation returns

ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

    6 (0x6)

    The handle is invalid.

Do not use GetLastError with the return values of this function. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762164%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)

Thanks Jochen.
