Thank you!

My English skills are not good enough to write an understandable manual...

Nice piece of software... It does add a key tho...

HKU\S-1-5-21-746137067-2025429265-682003330-1005\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache\*:\*\*\WipeDisk\WipeDisk.exe: "WipeDisk - Löscht Datenträger schnell und sicher"

So not strictly portable as it leave a record of its use and the drive it was run from (i replaced with *)...

but.... I do like it and its now on my key :)

WipeFile does not write into the Registry. This key is added by the windows shell, not by the program. :wink:

You find aditional infos about this key at http://windowsir.blogspot.com/2005/12/m ... olved.html

Interesting read. thank you :)

I work in computer forensics so I'm a little more cautious than most. Always good to find new info (it never stops lol).

Thanks again
