    Okay, I'm intrigued. But a question rises for me: Can one find the old files that XP still stores and shred them? And where do you and how do you find these old files? Thanks.

    I am pretty sure this software can delete old files, and I think it does it automatically. Maybe someone else can confirm it for me...Anyways, the deleted files stored by XP are in a folder called _RECYCLER and it is labeled as system/hidden. This is as far as I know. You should be able to clear this all out with this program.

    That's how it was on my XP. Wait, I think I found the problem...The name is _RECYCLER Don't forget the underscore. Try that.

    Edit: I looked into it just now on my old school crappy ME computer, and it shows up as Recycled. To find it, I suggest making sure that system/hidden files are shown, and look in your root drive. There should be a recycle bin folder on all hard drives if you have more than one.
