ShutDown NOW! v3.0 Information:
-------------------------------

Dear ShutDown NOW! User,

1997 was the last year in which you have seen
the MS-Windows TaskManager, instead of shutting
down the Windows system, after you have pressed
CTRL + ALT + DEL. - It was also the last year,
you have pressed CTRL + ALT + DEL, if you wanted
to shut down MS-Windows and it was the last year
you have pressed these hotkeys twice, or have
used the mouse to climb through numerous dialogs
until you was able to shut down.

What you will use in the future is:

		CTRL + ALT + 'D'

to shut down with a previously configured option.

But if you want more - here it is: ...
----------------------------------

Did you ever want to eject & retract your CD-ROM
device's media - or (under Windows NT) your SCSI
device's media (e.g. SCSI/ATAPI CD-ROMs, SCSI DAT
or other TAPE devices, ZIP or OPTICAL storage de-
vices, - short: all removable SCSI devices under
Windows NT) with a single:

	   SHIFT + CTRL + {DriveLetter}

Then here it is!

Not enough? ...
-----------

Still not enough? - OK!

Do you often work on secure documents under
MS-Windows? - Do you know where your editor or
word processing application (e.g. MS-Word) saves
its temporary data? - I will tell you: Either in
the folder you are currently working in, or in
the Windows Temporary Directory (e.g. C:\TEMP),
if you have specified this in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
or under "Control Panel"-"System" (WinNT).

Do you know, that these files often are stored
normally, without safety - and that Windows often
lets them in the TEMP Dir, if you have had a
crash, or even without having a crash!

These files can either simply be restored with
the MS-DOS Command: UNDELETE, or with low-level
FAT editors, - or they can be found there, where
they are stored, if not deleted.

ShutDown NOW! now has an easy "Empty Directories"
option, which does secure (0-Byte overwrite and
kill), fast and safely empty the specified
directories: and I mean really empty!
So ShutDown NOW! empties, if specified by you,
also subdirectories and hidden, read-only or as
'system' marked files and folders!
