REALLY deleting a file
Ok, so it's not really related to mfc, etc. But does anyone know how to completely obliterate a file? Is there some Windows utility that will do it? And I don't mean just deleting it from the Recycle Bin; I have the impression that that only removes the directory entry. I'm talking about actually clobbering the data so that not even Norton Utilities could recover it. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: REALLY deleting a file
There is a utility provided by "Norton Utilities" itself called "wipeinfo" which physically deletes data from the disk. I am not very up to date with that utility, so if you have a 32-fat or NTFS, I don't know if Wipeinfo will work.
Just check up on the NU website, its worth a try.
