Navigation

Once the KillDisk application is launched the main application's dashboard appears. From here you can use any of KillDisk's tools. This section describes main components of the application and navigation. The full functionality and features of these components are discussed in corresponding sections later.

Where:

File Menu Bar

The file menu bar contains actions to perform nearly any operation in KillDisk such as accessing Settings and Help sections, changing Views and what is visible in the dashboard, opening tools as well as navigating between KillDisk's windows.

Tabbed Windows

Here you can navigate between KillDisk tabbed windows such as Disk Explorer, Application Log etc..

Command Toolbar

The command toolbar is a dynamic toolbar that allows the user to perform Tabbed Window-specific actions (depending on the context).

Windowed View

Contains the window that is currently active. By default you can see here all HDD/SSD/USB disks attached to the workstation.

Output Window

Contains the log of actions KillDisk has performed.

Advanced Tools Tabs

These tabs allow to navigate between the different Advanced Tools.

This window shows the data for the Advanced Tool selected. The window can be moved, popped out and re-sized.

To open any View being closed, just select it from the View menu.

The status bar at the bottom of the workspace shows the current status of the application or status of the activity in progress.
