trids Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 What have you tried so far .. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzetabi Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 (edited) I guess that a simple FileDelete is not enough for you. What kind of security do you need? Do you want to be protected agaist simple Undelete programs or do you have to protect agaist people that may spend some hundreds dollars in order to have your data back or even worse you have some data that are of national importance and/or their recover can cost lives?

ezzetabi Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 1st case - use my shell extension code to pass 8 times the files with random data, rename them 100 times and deleted them. 2nd case - use my shell extension code to pass 100 times the files with random data, rename them 100 times and deleted them. 3rd case - take an hammer, hit the disk where the data are stored until it is broken in lots of small parts. Drop the parts in different bin around the city. Even better drop them in bins of different cities or town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzetabi Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Oh? So do you mean that really FileDelete was enough? Read the help file danmit!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedi Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Sorry bud, but I did read the help file for ver 2.6 something. I even did a search for recycle.... It did not mention the filedelete. If you prefer to answer my questions like you have, please do not bother.. Thank you Jon for the answer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 maybe it's 'cause this is v3 support, not v2.6 support? "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedi Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 I just searched ver 3 help . no mention of recycle bin that I could find. I just wanted some help for something that I could not find an answer to... Thanks again to Jon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valik Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I just opened V3 help, typed "recycle bin" on the search tab, got 4 results including the function FileRecycle which references FileDelete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
