I do a lot of work on the road with proprietary unclassified information. I routinely use the "deleted files" option in IE so, if my laptop were stolen/lost, I wouldn't have to worry about someone recovering my work (I keep CD's up to date with everything). I just learned that there are tools available to recover "deleted" files and websites I thought were safely deleted. Anyone have a recommendation for safely deleting all files/websites/whatever so they cannot be recovered?
You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

I went to the Acronis site, but they can't help except with complete hard disk wipe, which is not an option. Anyone have any other ideas??

Here is what a few poeple at a former employer did. We would have a seperate (small) partition, that would then look like a seperate disk, then we would wipe that seperate partition.
Also might look at File Shredder or File Shredder Software - Erase File permanently or what I use at work now Lavasoft File Shredder - Lavasoft
