Delpart is about the quickest I've used if you're not too bothered about loads of passes.

which of these would be the best to have installed as a "self destruct" to hide my downloaded files? needs to be a "perfect" wipe...if such a thing exists, and the quicker the better

not that i will, just interested/

By Far, I&#39;ve found the best to be Nortons Wipe Disk, (it&#39;s part of Nortons System Works Prog.) There is an option called "Gov&#39;t wipe" which completely and thoroughly destroys any chance of recovering erased data. I highly recommend it.

not only that, but you can make command line boot disks for doing things like that with norton . maybe someone else who reads this who has norton system works professional 2003 can explain better.
