As one of the first users of trash it! way back when, I came to love this little script from the get-go. Files in the trash that the system still thinks are 'in use' get deleted, files or folders with permissions locked up so tight simply get moved to the 'can' and then deleted, and when I have a previous system folder (sent to the trashcan after an archive and install), trash it removes all 10 billion files (overstating for effect) without me having to sit by the computer to respond to the annoying 'this file can't be deleted, blah blah blah, as trash it will just do it while I do other things.

As for the last poster who said he needed to sign up to download, I just clicked on the 'Download' link here at VT.com and it worked fine.

I'm a staunch supporter of any *good* freeware developer, especially a company that produces high-quality items, and if NNSW continues doing that, I will continue rating their software on the merits, quality, price (none!), and support. The latter is probably the biggest factor that separates NNSW from other programmers I've dealt with, and they get an A+ in my book.
