The new features add some capabilities which our customers have been wanting for some time. But the real power of this update lies in the new repair routines. Our goal was to seek out as many different drive problems as we could find and develop routines that could repair those problems. The end result is we've created what we believe to be the most robust drive-repair utility ever. If users trash a file and then empty the trash, then they later decide to retrieve the deleted file, they could simply open the Protection control panel and recover the lost file by dragging it to the desktop.
Many programs create invisible scratch files as the user works on a document.
These are continually created and deleted often irrespective of how often users actually save their work. For example, if a user spent many hours on a long document and neglected to use the SAVE command. And then perhaps their computer crashed or they experienced a power failure, in most cases, the document would be lost forever. Even TechTool Pro's file recovery features couldn't help because, technically, a file never existed in the first place. With Trash Cache, chances are good that the user would be able to retrieve their document's scratch file and salvage most, if not all, of their work.
