Changes from v6.0.3.847 RC3 -> v6.0.4.875 RC4

• 850 Empty recycle bin after we are done with erasures so the icon is updated. Joel
• 850 Erase only the recycle bin for the current user Joel
• 851 Don't show secure move entry (currently unimplemented) Joel
• 852 Fixed grammatical error in about text Joel
• 853 About dialog links to our new site Joel
• 854 Allow users to create new tasks by right-clicking empty portions of the scheduler Joel
• 854 Removed unused entries from the Scheduler toolbar menu Joel
• 855 Folders in the plausible deniability list are now properly utilised Joel
• 856 Faster about box drawing algorithm Joel
• 858-859 Allow one-time tasks to be automatically removed upon successful completion Joel
• 859 Fixed another grammatical error in the scheduler Joel
• 860 Fixed the bootstrapper for 64-bit architectures. Also fixes the Shell extension for 64-bit Windows Joel
• 861-862 Fixed Vista shell extension icons. We lost the alpha channel using the old conversion method Joel
• 863 Task deletions will now require user confirmation (as per Windows and v5) Joel
• 864 Inform the user that there are no updates or plugins to download when the user invokes the updater Joel
• 865 Don't allow the user to select invalid folder paths, eg. the Printers folder in remote network shares Joel
• 866 Fixed spurious crash upon adding tasks using the shell extension Joel
• 867 Implemented automatic elevation when unused free space erasures are requested from the shell extension. A quick note: what this does is the request for unused space erasures automatically elevate themselves. However, since the erasures are still done by the running Eraser instance which may not have been elevated, the erasures may still fail. The behaviour is however different when there is no Eraser instance running: the spawned instance of Eraser will automatically be elevated. Joel
• 868 Show an error message when the user cancels the elevation request, instead of throwing out an "unknown error" Joel
• 870 All binaries are now timestamped on top of being signed Joel
• 871 Error codes should be better dealt with now, we use the Marshaler which is built into .NET for error handling
