Free, but may be a pain would be to copy something else on top of the files you
want to make unrecoverable.
i.e.
copy anyprogram.exe private.xls
anyprogram.exe (must be a real name) will be laid on top of private.xls
(Both would be real names of course)
Anyone trying to look at private.xls would get complete gibberish since the
contents make no sense for the data type (xls)
BTW you could then safely delete private.xls.

I eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny.
But it keeps them on my knife.
