	DelLater  License: Freeware
	Have you ever tried to delete a file, only to be frustrated by messages like these? The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Cannot delete file: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again. Here is an easy solution. DiamondCS DelLater uses the only method recommended by Microsoft to delete files that are in use. This method is based on documentation from Microsoft that describes a function called MoveFileEx, and DelLater has been carefully designed to be technically accurate to the guidelines set forth in the article. This is the same technique used by anti-virus scanners when they're unable to delete in-use files. Although the MoveFileEx function isn't supported under Windows 95/98/ME, the article does describe how to implement the same functionality, which DelLater does. Don't worry if you don't understand the Microsoft article - DelLater simplifies everything. Author: Diamond Computer Systems| Date: 25-08-2005 | Size: 29 KB

	Schredit  License: Freeware
	Why use schredit? After all, Windows allows you to delete files, documents, pictures and other data by simply dropping them into the trashcan and when you `empty the trash` those files are gone. Right? Wrong ! <BR> You just need to browse the internet, shareware libraries etc to find dozens, if not hundreds of simple utilities that can recover deleted files, folders and even whole harddrives. So, just because you delete something doesn`t mean that somebody else isn`t going to read it. <BR> Schredit sits on your Windows desktop just like trashcan. But that`s where the similarity ends...... Files dropped into Schredit are not coming back. <BR>Warning! Don`t come to us if you drop some really important data into Schredit. It doesn`t matter how important those files were or how much money you`re prepared to spend on data recovery. Fact is, we can`t help you Author: Axis Controls Limited| Date: 08-05-2005 | Size: 1470 KB
