File Shredder 2.0 is very fast, and easy to use. Well worth the price (It's free - fully functional and has no nags or ads) It only took a couple of minutes to shred almost 9 Gigs of free space on one of my drives. Much faster than the old Win98 shredder I had been using. You can also shred individual files or folders (including all contents), by using File Shredder's 'Add' button to include the file, or by dragging the file(s) into the main screen area. There is an Explorer shell enhancement which provides a right-click context menu entry for File Shredder. Unfortunately, on my set-up (winXP) the built-in Help does not work, nor does the clickable link that is supposed to connect to the File Shredder homepage. If you point your browser to www.fileshredder.org you will be taken to the page for an earlier version (1.2) which has the same layout. The 'Help' link on this page, describes the buttons and their functions.
