He found 2 sources of sample code that show how to do it: one in C++ and the other in C#. The C++ code is located at<BR/><A HREF="http://cyberia.dnsalias.com/Windows.App.10.htm" REL="nofollow">http://cyberia.dnsalias.com/Windows.App.10.htm</A> (look for the shred.zip file). Daryl pointed out that "One key point in the code is opening the file with disabled write caching with the FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH flag". Keep it in mind for the C++ sample. The C# example is at <A HREF="" REL="nofollow">http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/CryptoLib.asp</A>. It didnt sound like he was going to be working on this anytime soon, but i'll try to get him to keep me posted about developments.
