*** What Is FolderBurn?

FolderBurn v1.0 is a freeware utility authored
by The Messiah, using Delphi, version 2.01. It
securely deletes all the files in a specified
directory that match a file mask.


---------------------------------------------
*** Installation

What are you, daft? Unzip FBURN.ZIP into the
directory of choice, then plug away.

---------------------------------------------
*** Use

 OPTIONS

"Mask" edit box- This is the mask which will
be used when burning the folder. If you want
to delete all the files, use a *.* mask.

"Delete folder when done" checkbox- If this
is checked when you burn a folder, FolderBurn
deletes the selected folder.
***IMPORTANT***
If the folder has something in it (files, a
subdirectory, etc), you will get an error
while deleting the folder.

"Recurse directories" checkbox- If this is
checked when you burn a folder, it will wipe
all the files in all the subdirectories of
the selected folder. You can't have this
option and "Delete folder when done" both
checked at the same time, because FolderBurn
doesn't delete the subdirectories.

"Rounds" slider- FolderBurn can overwrite the
files in the selected directory a specified
number of times. The minimum is 7 times, and
the maximum is 25.

 HOW TO BURN A FOLDER

This is pretty easy. Get the options set up
the way you like. Then click on the button
titled "Burn". A dialog will pop up. Select
the directory you wish to burn. FolderBurn
will ask you if you want to wipe all the
files. Answer truthfully, because I can tell
when you lie. A dialog with a list of all
the files whose lives you so desperately
want to end will pop up. Say ok to wipe them,
cancel to stop the madness. Once you've set
things in motion, the top progress bar shows
the progress on the current file, and the
bottom one shows the total progress. You
should be very careful when wiping a folder,
because once you do so, the files are
unrecoverable.

---------------------------------------------
*** Disclaimer

Because files wiped with FolderBurn CANNOT be
recovered, I, The Messiah, assume no
responsibility for anything you, the user, do.
By using FolderBurn, you are acknowledging the
fact that any mistakes are your own, and will
be dealt with accordingly (by yourself). I do
not claim this software is infallible, and I
assume no responsibility for any errors it
makes.
