Description:
This program uses VBScripts to create a new entry in the *Send To*
menu (pictured above) that comes up when you right-click on a file,
folder, or combination thereof; with a subsequent click on *Hell*, the
files are removed immediately from the hard drive. The program works
by emulating keystrokes, confirming automatically at the system's
standard dialog boxes.
You can change the *Send To* menu entry from reading *Hell* to reading
*Waste Basket* at the start menu:
*Start Menu > All Programs > WasteBasket > Change_To_Waste*
(Allow the VBScripts to run by any anti-spyware program that might
object to scripts.)
You can disable or re-enable the display of the *Send To* menu entry
at the same place:

[Start Menu addition]
Installation:
If you don't have the installer program, download the compressed .exe
here:
WasteBasketInstaller.zip <freeware/WasteBasketInstaller.zip>
As you execute the installer, you may need to click "Open" , "Run" and
"Allow" confirmations to register the VBScript program files with
Microsoft's Anti-Spyware, the first time you run them.
After you install the program, you need to enable it, requiring
security clearances again:*Start Menu > All Programs > WasteBasket >
Enable WasteBasket v1.0"* to enable the program.
The installation of the program makes no explicit changes to the
Registry or Configuration of your computer. It just makes a copy of
the program files in *C:\Program Files\WasteBasket*, and shortcuts
under the Start Menu and in the *Send To* folders. The program
requires that the Windows Script Host be installed and enabled (the XP
default). A good uninstaller is created by the installation program,
which points to the actual installation directory you chose. There is
never a need to uninstall before reinstalling this program.
Uninstall:
To uninstall WasteBasket, go to:
Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > WasteBasket >
Uninstall_WasteBasket
You will have to click "Allow" at the Spyware Warning, in order to
complete the running of the Script.
