I'm just now noticing this useful SDelete.exe utility from that trusted Windows SysInternals source.
And while I do like the convenience of these context menu options, I don't trust myself or my shaky hands even with that big red [X] icon having deleted too many things when wanting to just rename. Anyway I don't 'Secure Delete' that much stuff anyway so for me I found putting the process in a safer spot a better option. I thought others might appreciate this bat file as an alternative.
So I pieced together this simple quick and dirty *.bat file from several sources so that I can drag and drop to a shortcut created for it in the same directory that I've un-zipped the SDelete.zip files. This shortcut once it's created in the same folder as the sdelete.exe file can then be copied anywhere that's more convenient.
Note: The 'cmd /c exit -1073741510 2>nul' is just a easy way to pause the delete with a 'Y/N to Terminate' prompt.
Code:@ECHO OFF echo About to SDelete this file\folder: echo. echo %1 echo. cmd /c exit -1073741510 2>nul sdelete64.exe %* -s -p 3
