This repeats a thread I started almost a year ago. My current Eraser User Guide is a PDF file dated 11 October 2014. Since that date, I have updated Eraser four times. Is there a more current User Guide that I can download and place on my hard drive in a form that does not require an Internet...

The file name in Settings is not the file to erase. Instead, it is a name of a file to replace an erased file, thus obscuring whether the erased file ever existed. To use the Eraser window to erase a file, you should be in Erase Schedule, not Settings. Then you drag-and-drop the file into the...

Using the envelope icon at the bottom of the downloads page at http://eraser.heidi.ie/download/, I tried to send a message to the Eraser team. I very carefully input the Captcha string (which was much more legible than many others). When I selected Send, however, the Web page returned a note...

I see that Eraser 6.2.0.2970 was released yesterday. Is this an official release, a beta release, or merely a nightly? If it is official, are there release notes?

Is there a current user manual or other documentation that I can download to my PC? I am looking for documentation that does NOT require an Internet connection.

15 July 2015: This is still a problem with 6.2.0.2969.

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x64) Eraser 6.2.0.2962 I checked the checkbox for "Integrate Eraser into Windows Explorer". However Eraser does not appear on the pull-down context menu for any file. How do I get this to work.

After exporting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eraser\Eraser 6, I deleted Eraser from my J-drive and reinstalled it on my C-drive. It turned out that I did not need to merge the exported registry keys as the resulting registry already contained those data. The point of all this, however, was to...

I created a special Eraser method. Now I want to "move" Eraser from one disc partition to another, deleting it from the current partition and then installing it in a different partition. However, I do not want to lose my special Eraser method. In what file is it saved? Can I simply save the...

I found Eraser 6.2.0.2969 at http://hivelocity.dl.sourceforge.net/project/eraser/Eraser%206/6.2/Eraser%206.2.0.2969.exe. What is the status of this version? That is, (1) is it official and (2) is it ready for end-users? Also, "Eraser 6.2.0.2962 released!" was posted in the "Eraser Update...

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x64) Eraser 6.2.0.2962 I installed Eraser in the J-partition of a hard drive, primarily because the C-partition was becoming full. Now, I cannot get Eraser integrated into Windows Explorer. Otherwise, Eraser works just great. Do I need to install it in the...

Windows 7 Ultimate S{1 (x64) Eraser 6.2.0.2962 What is the Eraser.BlackBox plugin?

Windows 7 Ultimate SP 1 (x64) Eraser 6.2.0.2962 I installed this latest version of Eraser, and I notice two anomalies. On the Settings page, the Save Settings, Add File, and Add Folder buttons have their text running off beyond the tops and bottoms of the buttons. I have attached a screen...

Launch Eraser as an application. On the Eraser tool bar, select Settings. On the Settings pane, uncheck the checkbox for "Integrate Eraser into Windows Explorer".

What I am waiting for is the implementation of a confirmation request when erasing via the Windows context menu. This was a capability in Eraser 5, it disappeared with Eraser 6. To protect me from accidentally erasing a file, I have disabled the context menu. Equally important is the...

I read elsewhere in this forum that Eraser cannot erase files on flash drives (memory sticks, thumb drives). Can Eraser erase files on solid state hard drives?

I solved the problem by downloading Autoruns.zip from http://download.sysinternals.com/files/Autoruns.zip (a Microsoft-sponsored site). I extracted autoruns.exe from the ZIP file and executed it, which allowed me to turn off the automatic launch of Eraser. While I strongly suspect the...

Windows XP SP3 Eraser 6.0.10. 2620 Recently, Eraser has launched when a reboot or boot-up Windows. This delays the completion of booting. I think this started after installing the most recent Windows XP updates. In Eraser's Settings, I unchecked the checkbox for "Integrate Eraser into...

Eraser uses .NET Framework? I don't use Internet Explorer; instead I use SeaMonkey, a Mozilla-based browser. I have been refusing all .NET Framework updates, especially since .NET Framework seems to have so many security vulnerabilities that require patching. Rather than dealing with ongoing...

Also, when launched from a Windows context menu, Eraser 5.8.2.0 would provide a confirmation popup asking if I really wanted to erase the selected file. Eraser 6.0.10.2620 does not do this. This is a serious discrepancy. There are other, non-destructive options in my Windows context menu. It...
