Permanently erase Windows files in two clicks with RightDelete
by Lee Mathews Dec 18th 2008
Windows is a nice foundation, but there are some simple functions that have long been missing from the OS - like secure file deletion. RightDelete is just about the simplest app you'll find for adding that functionality. It's a free 156kb download for Windows 98 or better.
Extract and launch the executable and you'll be asked to confirm adding an entry to your context menu. You'll need the executable on your system to actually perform erasures, so don't just run it from inside the zip.
Once the menu entry has been added, just right click on any file and choose securely delete. You'll be prompted again to make sure you want to proceed with the deletion. The program utilizes the seven pass method, which is more than enough to prevent recovery with any normal applications.
It's fairly fast as well, wiping a 32mb file in just over two seconds.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
