I found the ROUNDTUIT and read the Popular Science article. Thanks!
I knew that ERASER was available for that job.
I didn't see any mention of DBAN, but I learned that RECUVA also can
'obscure'.
My method is to click on the filename in XP's Windows Explorer and then
press the Shift KEY and the Delete KEY to bypass the Trashbin.
Yes, I know the files information is still on my HDD but I'm not too
much worried if someone other than me wanted to recover the file(s).
I am a retired Civil Service employee, I'm not going to do something
that would mess up my Pension or the portion of the annuity my wife
would receive.
I may be dumb but I'm not stupid.
I stayed around the Popular Science site and read a few more articles
before writing this Reply.
I subscribed to Popular Science in the Mid-1970's, but that was the time
before I got a Commodore 64 in 1984.
Thanks Again!
