- --- 1. What is ExoDel? ---
-
- ExoDel was created by Justin Streufert.
-
- ExoDel is a program that deletes files so they can never be
- recovered, including by ms-dos UNDELETE and other programs. The
- normal Windows 95 and DOS delete commands (and throwing files into
- the recycle bin) leaves your important files around for intruders
- to take easily. ExoDel fixes all that by virtually "incinerating"
- files, thouroughly removing them from your drive.
-
- See the program's ONLINE HELP for more information! (Click the
- <?> button on the toolbar)
-
- --- 2. Installing ---
-
- To install ExoDel, PKUNZIP all the files into a temporary directory.
- Run SETUP.EXE; the rest is self-explanitory. ExoDel will end up on
- your Program Files menu (not in any program folder).
-
- If you are using a recent version of Nico Mak Computing's WinZip or a
- similar program, you can just open the ZIP file and click the INSTALL
- button.
-
- --- 3. Registering ---
-
- Registering the software is only US$9, and you can do it with a check
- by mail. (It is illegal to use this software for more than 30 days
- without registering, by the way).
-
- Benefits of registering:
- - Be able to delete as many files at a time as you want
- - Drag-and-drop and "Send To" ExoDel for quick access (see Hints)
- - Remove annoying delay and having to click buttons at startup
- - Get rid of all UNREGISTERED messages
- - Relieve your conscience
- - Save the programmers from starvation
- - Uphold the shareware concept
- - IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE THE PROGRAM FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS WITHOUT
- REGISTERING IT. So there.
-
- How can I register?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Just open the program and click Register. Choose
- the option to make a registration form, and press ">> Next >>" .. Fill
- out the form and click ">> Next >>" again. Print out the text file
- that appears in Notepad, and send it in with a check for $9 made out to
- Justin Streufert. (the address is on the order form) ..
-
- You will recieve (by email, or postal mail if you have no email
- address) your unique registration code. It is FOR YOUR EYES ONLY! It
- is illegal to give it (or the registered software) to others. Choose
- Register again, and choose the option that you already have your code.
- Enter your code in the text box, and click ">> Next >>" ... that's it.
- Thanks!
-
- YOU CAN ALSO REGISTER BY CREDIT CARD ON THE WWW!:
- Open ExoDel and click Register. Read the instructions at the bottom
- of the screen!
-
- --- 4. Helpful Hints ---
-
- These only work when you are registered!
-
- * To speed up deletion, add a shortcut to ExoDel on the desktop. Then
- you can drag a file to it to delete it.
-
- * Even better, put a shortcut in the \windows\SendTo directory! Then
- you can right-click on a file, go to Send To, and click ExoDel, to
- delete from anywhere in the shell.
