Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 Eraser 6.2.0.2992 If I launch Eraser from a Windows Explorer context menu, I would like it to terminate automatically when it is done. On the other hand, if I launch Eraser by selecting its icon from my Start menu, it should remain active until I manually terminate it.

Is there any progress in fixing this problem? Yes, I understand a newer version of Eraser would be required.

I reverted back to version 6.2.0.2992 on 10 Oct 2021. That version supports use from a Windows Explorer pull-down context menu. Thus, the problem was introduce in version 6.2.0.2993.

I tried that. Eraser still did not appear in the pull-down context menu for any object. NOTE: When installing, I selected not to terminate Windows Explorer. Instead, I rebooted after installing.

I tried completely removing Eraser and then reinstalling it. I got the error popup shown in the attached JPEG file named "Eraser installation error.jpg". However, I always seem to get that error on every update. I again did a complete removal and reverted to version 6.2.0.2992, again...

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x64) Eraser 6.2.0.2993 The checkbox is checked for "Integrate Eraser into Windows Explorer". The Save Settings button was then selected. I then rebooted my PC. Nevertheless, I cannot get Eraser to appear in the pull-down context menu for any folder or file.

I just now updated to Eraser 6.2.0.2993. Is there a change log?

This is still a problem with Eraser 6.2.0.2992.

The five files that I most often erase are in my list of Eraser tasks. Usually, I launch Eraser and select one of those tasks to run. Today, however, I selected one of those files in a window, right-clicked, and selected Eraser from the pull-down context menu to erase it. I now discovered...

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 Eraser 6.2.0.2991 I still sporadically (not consistently) get the problem, at least when erasing an object (file or folder) via the Windows Explorer pull-down context menu.

I will have several opportunities to test it later this week. In the meantime, I would appreciate if there were a change log for each new version. This could be either on your Web site or a cumulative file installed with Eraser. I prefer the Web site so that I can see what changed before...

Windows 7 Eraser 6.2.0.2990 I am still having this problem.

I just now repeated my tests and got different results. NOTE: In both the prior set of tests and the tests reported below, the target file was pasted on my Windows desktop AFTER AVG was either enabled or disabled. In Test #1, Eraser erased the .txt but created a "Queued for execution" task...

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 AVG AntiVirus Free 20.5.3130 Eraser 6.2.0.2990 I installed Eraser 6.2.0.2990 without terminating anything. Instead, I rebooted after the installation. During the installation, the installer could not write one item; I selected Ignore. Eraser is NOT installed in the...

I copied a plain-text file (extension .txt) and pasted it on my Windows desktop as erase-test.txt. Using Notepad, I added several lines of random text. Then I waited several minutes. I selected the file erase-test.txt, right-clicked, and selected [Eraser > Erase] from the pull-down context...
