Good gadgets are few and far between! (21/05/2009)
Easy to use file shredder. Why pay money for a vendor 3rd party software based shredder when this gadget does the same job? Always availible and so easy to use. I put it on my desktop (and any PC I install for clients) on the reverse location of the recycle bin. Need something gone for good? Just drag it to the shredder gadget instead of the Recycle Bin. Good work and excellent idea Narbeh! P.S. Can or will we ever get an update? Just to fix any bugs or errors. (I haven't experiencedd one)

first installed this gadget a short while back and it did'nt work (vista) then downloaded it again and hey presto it works. It appears that when I tried to use it previously I was trying to shred a complete game/folder. but it is a file shredder, it does what it says on the can !!!! excellent gadget, it works perfectly. Thanks narby......
