Taking a cue from my close amigo NO FUQN ASCII!!!!!!


These are some small but useful utilities.

Changext 	is a small program for changing the dos extension
		of a file from Windows 95.  Just drag the file onto
		the changext icon and it will ask you what extension
		you would like the program to be eg: "exe" or "jpg"

		I found it so useful that I put it on my desktop.

dllshow		is a small program that will display all of the
		programs running on your computer, and what .dll files
		each program are using.  This is useful when you are
		manually trying to uninstall a program.  Run the
		program you want to uninstall and see what .dll
		files it uses.

bcwipe		this is a program that allows you to wipe your disk
		free space to prevent a computer geek expert to 
		look on your hard disk (or any disk) and recover
		files that you have previously erased.  This program
		scrambles the location on the hard disk of the file
		that you erased.

		when you install the program, if you right-click on
		a file and the popup menu appears, you will see
		"wipe free space" or "delete with wiping" has been
		added to your menu as an option.  If you want to burn
		something bye-bye, choose "delete with wiping".  That
		file is gone forever with no chance of recovery.

		to periodically completely wipe all of the free space
		on a disk, right-click on the disk icon and choose
		"wipe free space". mmmmm good.

		REMEMBER and take note- this program scrambles only
		the LOCATION of the file that you are erasing.  It 
		does not erase the invisible reference to the file
		in the table of contents of the disk.  First wipe your
		free space, then use the next program to overwrite
		the deleted file name references from the disk table
		of contents.

ds95		directory snoop 95.  this program will show you the
		table of contents of a disk.  it will even show you
		the names of previously erased files.  With this
		program you can overwrite the previously erased file
		name references with empty spaces.  This prevents
		a computer expert from seeing file names like
		"hot n nasty.jpg" or "kinky.gif" in the erased file
		section of the table of contents.  Use this with BCWipe.

		TAKE NOTE:  This is a good program, but you have to
		wipe the erased file names in each folder that you
		had files in that you don't want the names to appear.

		I like to keep all of my security files in one folder, 
		like "documents" or "my files" and this helps me
		make sure I got them all with this program.

		If you use this program, and bcwipe, no one will be
		able to snoop your disks and give you a front row seat
		to the grand jury.

have fun!
