I would like a script that automates the secure overwriting of the slack space and free space on my C: logical drive. Obviously, I will need these three lines:

Open C:
InitFreeSpace
InitSlackSpace

However, I'm confused about something. The help file says that the latter two lines use "the currently set initialization settings."

Does this mean that InitFreeSpace and InitSlackSpace use whatever overwriting method is specified in "Tools > Disk Tools > Initialize Free Space..."? Or is there some way, in the script, to specify the overwriting method?

Also, is there anything else I'm missing?

Yes, it does.

Please note that only with a professional license or higher you can write your own scripts in WinHex.
