I always appreciate hearing about programs I've never heard of before. However, I'll stick with the one I've been using for many years: Eraser. It has everything DP has, and much more (including customizable context menu options, wipe free space, erase recycle bin contents, scheduling tasks, etc.). http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/download.php Thanks for the tip, Martin.

I would imagine that any OS would have such a utility. "Shred" overwrites files with random junk, and can optionally delete the file afterwards. Actually, I always use it with the delete option.

I like to try to figure out what a community of paranoids could lead to. Perhaps to an anti-paranoia reaction, daddy cool sort of, no locks, no security, no harm, no borders, no propriety ... does that sound nice, and so unfortunately inappropriate. So it appears we agree!
