Is there any stand-alone utility which can give Extra file protection after Windows SHIFT+DELETE? I very much liked the Norton Protected Recycle Bin that came with Norton Systemworks 2003. Is there any similar standalone utility?

Extra file protection after Windows SHIFT+DELETE?

well which way??

there r some which will write data over the sector where u r file was to make sure no one retrives it by any mean...

and oposite... some to create back up... even after Delete u will still have the copy in HDD...

so what type u need??

I think he needs something that moves a 'Shift+Delete' action item to a secondary recycle bin (Like norton) rather than letting it delete. I feel S+D itself is safe enough :eek:

You are right. Also you cannot deny the necessity of a second line of defence. Anyway, is there any standalone utility?
