• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Shredder

firebrddriver:

To create a Shortcut for SDShred.exe:
  • Using Windows explorer navigate to the following folder:
    • C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
  • Right click on SDShred.exe and select Create Shortcut. The Shortcut for SDShred.exe should be created in that folder.
  • To move it to your desktop:
    • Drag it from the folder to your desktop.
      --- or ---
    • Right click on the shortcut and select Cut and then paste (Ctrl+V) it to your desktop.
 
Additional questions

1. Are there any shredder command line options so that it could be used via a batch file?

2. Is it possible to use the shredder with an external file list for files across multiple directories?

My problem (and I'm probably not alone)
Over the years 100's of files have got duplicated across a multitude folders - possibly with name variants. Whilst it is a fairly trivial task to write a PERL script to identify and list file duplicates using say md5's and files sizes - it would be a horrendous task to go through the listed files manually looking for sensitive data. Therefore the expedient solution is to automatically shred all unwanted duplicates.

Hence the need for one of the above alternatives.

BTW - I agree with the above - excellent work team!
