This program writes junk to a hard drive, making whatever data that was on it unable to be recovered. The professional version is compliant with US Department of Defense and German government standards.

On the topic of shredding hard drives, WinXP now includes the cipher command.

From command prompt, try running

cipher /W:C:

It wipes all free space on the C: drive, thus making any data previously deleted unrecoverable.

I didn't see it listed.

Convert, it converts almost any type of measurement.

Its tiny and comes in very useful time to time.

Crimson Editor

(Text editor, notepad replacement. Featured, fast, flexible, free)

We should break this thread into 'free' and 'commercial' useful software, as well as have a sentence description of what the program does.

Good idea. Let's format posts like this:

Also, have you used UltraEdit (http://ultraedit.com)? If so, how does Crimson Editor compare in your opinion? Thanks.

I briefly used UltraEdit some years back, though I have a friend who uses it. I believe UltraEdit is better (more featured) than Crimson Editor, but Crimson Editor is probably the best FREE text/code editor at present. Here are some other free text editors:

Context (Another excellent editor.)
http://www.context.cx/

AnyEdit (Looks good, if it is ever finished, been in development for many years)
http://www.anyedit.org/

Note that these editors are for text and code, so for editing config files, .bat files, scripts etc. they are great. For specific word processing or full on code development, there are better applications like OpenOffice and some code IDEs. I just want something to replace notepad.exe for quick general purpose editing.

Cool, thanks for that Greg. I'll have to stick Crimson Editor on my USB key. The free part is nice and it looks to be a lot better than EditPad and the like. I'll check out the others too. Yes, UltraEdit is crazy on the features. The new version even has collapasble code sections capability.
