Company Description:
It is the providers of unique software solutions for today's changing market. RJL Software offers a wide range of Software and Services for the Windows environment. Fake Delete simulates the deletion of all files/folders in the Windows directory
or whichever directory is passed via the command line. Fake Delete uses the standard Windows delete dialog so it appears very realistic, and it cannot be disabled or stopped. The custom delete file display list is generated by scanning the computerÃs
directory, and actually displays the files being deleted. When Fake Delete initially starts, it adds a file to the Recycle Bin to assist the illusion. If a directory is passed on the command line, then that directory is the directory deleted. By default,
the Windows directory is deleted. The hard drive actually makes noise each time a file is deleted.
