Some other new features include... | A built-in File Viewer allows you to examine the contents of files on your system, so you can see if a suspect file contains anything of interest. File contents can be viewed as ANSI text, Unicode text, or binary data. You can also specify an external viewer to use. |  | An optional Popup message can be used to alert you of the presence of suspect items. |  | A Descend to First Leaf function which allows you to quickly navigate to the first found leaf of a directory hierarchy. |  | New Wizards simplify some common tasks and provide assistance when problems occur such as hard-to-delete files. (*This is still in development.) |  | A new Alerts feature allows you to have a custom alert message generated when certain conditions exist. (*This is still in development.) |  | New scripting ability allows you to create custom actions that will be automatically executed in response to certain events. For example, you would be able to create a script that automatically makes a copy any item that is deleted. (*This is still in development.) Scripts plan to use the TOOL language initially and may expand to use the Microsoft Scripting Engines. |
As well as general improvements to the product including more robust handling of ownership issues and better handling of deletion failures including possible suggestions on how to resolve the issue. Of course, you still get the same great functionality that previous versions of Delete FXP Files had, such as...  | The Whitelist, which allows you to specify names that should never be considered suspect. |  | The Blacklist, which allows you to specify additional names that should be considered suspect. |  | Suspect file scanning which allows for easy locating of suspect items within a filesystem. |  | That good old deletion power! |  | Delete on Reboot for files that are already in use. |  | Take Ownership (which can even work recursively, now!) | | | And all rest of the other stuff that you know and love! |
A new Technician's License (AKA the Service License) will be available in the future which allows IT service professionals to temporarily install a legal, fully licensed but lime-limited copy of the Delete FXP Files 2009 product with the functionality of a Standard Edition License on an as-needed basis on client machines. The typical scenario where this is useful is where a service person goes on-site to a client, installs the product on a client's machine to handle some situation, and then uninstalls it when done. This scenario can be repeated up to 250 times per year under the terms of the new Technician's license. Also, a new QuickFix License will be available. Our research has shown that some users only need the product's functionality for a very short time, usually a day or two to eliminate one or two stubborn files or folders. Rather than have users purchase a complete License for the product, they can now purchase a time-limited QuickFix License. This license enables the same functionality as the Standard Edition license, but is only valid for 5 days and costs less than $10 (USD)! This is usually more than enough time to correct many different problems.
The different licenses and their enabled functionality are detailed in the table below. | License | Demo/Unregistered | Lite | QuickFix / Standard / Technician's | Server | | Feature | | Unlimited Deletions | No - limited to 5 deletions and 10 days of usage | Yes! | Yes! | Yes! | | Recursive Folder Deletion | No | Yes! | Yes! | Yes! | | Delete On Reboot | No | Yes! | Yes! | Yes! | | Rename | No | Yes! | Yes! | Yes! | | Take Ownership | No | Yes! | Yes! | Yes! | | Auto Take Ownership | No | Yes! | Yes! | Yes! | | Descend to First Leaf Folder | No | No | Yes! | Yes! | | Multi-select Delete and Delete on Reboot | No | No | Yes! | Yes! | | Undo Pending Delete/Rename on selected Item | No | No | Yes! | Yes! | | View & Undo all Pending Delete/Rename on Reboot Operations | No | No | Yes! | Yes! | | Internal File Viewers | No | No | Yes! | Yes! | | Process Finder* | No | No | Yes! | Yes! | | Network/UNC Path Support | No | No | Yes! | Yes! | | Auto-Rename all Suspect Items | No | No | No | Yes! | | Whitelist | No | No | No | Yes! | | Blacklist | No | No | No | Yes! | | Scan | No | No | No | Yes! | * Process Finder may not function correctly under Windows VistaBe sure to select the License that contains the features that you need. Note that a new licensing system and payment processor are in use. This new system requires online installation and validation of licenses. If you are unable to install a licensed version of the product on a system that has Internet connectivity, please contact us for more information. Currently, only the Lite and Standard Editions are available. They will be followed by the QuickFix and Server Editions shortly thereafter, and finally by the Technician's Edition.
Important Note Regarding License Purchase & Installation: If you already have a Demo/Unregistered version of Delete FXP Files 2009 installed when you decide to purchase a license, you should uninstall it before going through with your purchase. Upon completion of your purchase you will be provided with a link to a download manager that will obtain and activate a special installation package that is appropriate for the license that you purchased. The download manager will deploy your license key on your system and will download an up-to-date installer for Delete FXP Files 2009. By using this special installation package, your license should auto-install the next time you launch Delete FXP Files 2009. Please make sure you understand this before making your purchase. Remember: a working, active Internet connection is required for installation of the license, periodic verification of the license, and automatic update checking. Please do not purchase a license for the product if you do not agree to this. |
