The McAfee AV/Firewall that my ISP supplies for free has a file shredder
in it, you will have to activate that "Feature" as I don't think its
installed as default. Its in the data protection section. 

-> A friend of mine that is running WinXP has asked me if there is a way to
-> permanently delete a file from his system.  He knows he can use Shift-Del
-> to make it look deleted, but he is asking how to completely remove files
-> from the system so that they can never be recovered (bank info, etc.).
->  
-> I know of software that will completely wipe-out the entire HD, but I don't
-> know of any that do so for individual files.  IIRC, the old Norton Desktop
-> (from WfWG 3.11 days) had a "Shredder" icon that supposedly did that.
->  
-> Is there a method to permanently delete a file, rather than moving it to
-> the recycle bin or otherwise leaving some recoverable footprint on the HD?
