RE: Recognize when IRP_MJ_SET_INFORMATION (RenameInfo-rmat ion) deletes a directory

How would that make any sense?
I just tried this, and watched with sysinternals’ FileMon. Given the empty
directory:

“d:\test\delete_me”

I ran the command

d:\test> rmdir delete_me

And here’s the FileMon trace:

4 2:29:28 PM cmd.exe IRP_MJ_CREATE D:\test\delete_me
SUCCESS Attributes:0000 Options:01000021
5 2:29:28 PM cmd.exe IRP_MJ_SET_INFORMATION D:\test\delete_me
SUCCESS FileDispositionInformation
6 2:29:28 PM cmd.exe IRP_MJ_CLEANUP D:\test\delete_me
SUCCESS
7 2:29:28 PM cmd.exe IRP_MJ_CLOSE D:\test\delete_me
SUCCESS

FileDispositionInformation is used only for files.
If you delete an empty directory it is done by FileRenameInformation.
