To tell you the truth, that would have to be one of the most common things that people try and use Eraser for, and it is also one of Eraser's weakest sides. Because of the fact that the index.dat files are "locked" when Windows is running means that trying to use Eraser to "wipe" them is...

The following is from the History.txt that comes with the latest version of Eraser: V5.7 Fixed icon issue. Upgraded DBAN To 1.0.1 Improvments to alternative datastreams submitted by Sami Minor Typo errors in help files files. Note it does say "improvments" (sic) rather than...

No right-click context menu for Erase heh? Well it is there with v5.7, so who knows what happened with your own individual setup. A suggestion might be to add the context menu entry yourself manually to the registry. To to this, copy and paste the text below into Notepad, and save it as a...

Patently I don't know if that would be possible, as when a file is deleted, it gets renamed to something erroneous anyway by Windows usually. A program which I've checked out personally is Restoration, which allows you to see deleted files still left on your harrdrive, which haven't been...

In the meantime whilst you're waiting for that feature to be implemented (btw, how's the toolbar going there Garrett :wink: ), you can manually remove the Recycle Bin extension by going to this key in the registry, and deleting it...

Re: Secure surfing? Can't help but have a chuckle at all of this. So what are we talking about here, heh? Pr0n sites, downloading some warez. Sorry but when people start talking about this sort of thing, I can just imagine them getting all paranoid about looking at the Jenna Jameson website...

Thanks, but there shouldn't be any need for that as I have an idea as to how it should be. Icons which are grey to start with, but when you pass the cursor over them they become coloured. In other words another cosmetic enhancement which doesn't necessarily make the program more useful or...

Yes, just thought I'd mention this again and also "isolate" the topic for better clarification. On v5.7, it's great we have the original icons back in their rightful place, but on my machine at least, the icons have a constant grey background, and changing the Windows colour scheme doesn't...

So why don'tcha just create a new username and profile. Probably takes about five seconds tops. Or does that fall under the category of "just can't be bothered". :wink:

Actually you can already do that with Eraser. Of course when you do it, make sure that you have the "On Demand" button selected, and not the "Scheduler". :wink:

On v5.6 the Tooltips (yellow hints if that's what you mean) were actually in the correct "position", the respective picture (or icon) for the relevant function was not, so yes they have been bought back into sychronicity with v5.7. However... the original point I was making is that whilst...

Odd problem. Is View - toolbar enabled? If it is and there are no icons, if you have the program Resource Hacker then you can open up eraser.exe in it and then have a look at the item under Bitmap - 128 - 1033, as that is the resource for the toolbar icon bitmap. I might also note that whilst...

Actually in the case of "sensitive files", it's always best not to have them sent to the recycle bin in the first instance, always erase them on-the-spot, so to speak. Any other less sensitive files, well maybe, but you will still have to do the free-space wipe after deleting them to the recycle...

Erm, are you sure about that? I mean, it's good to erase certain sensitive files, but not being able to recover files sometimes can be a bit of a disaster. I mean, I really do not know of any PC user who would really need to erase *everything*, even if they were a p0rno monger or warez-head...

Hey it's cool, I've got nothing against alternative browsers like Opera, it's just that it's hard to find one which does everything IE6 does. What you may notice with Opera is, Javascript is still not fully implemented, and judging by the way it's going, probably never will. They seem to be...

That's funny considering that there are no pop-up windows anywhere on this forum anyhow. But then again I've always considered Opera to be a quirky off-beat kinda browser. :wink:

Hate to say it, but if wiping the "free space" on your harddrive actually somehow wiped out everything else as well, then these forums would be alight with flames! As it is, wiping free space does exactly that, wipes the free space not being occupied by programs. Files etc. that were...

Here's a handy little utility I came across recently, and thought I might share it with fellow Eraser users, as they may find it of use: Restoration is a program which will help you recover any files which were deleted (both from the harddrive and the recycle bin), but not erased. The program...
