would it really? I mean these programs look for things that have been deleted, does a shredder tool deleted to the point that it couldn't find them? I would think you would have to use such a tool like everytime you went on the web as you would amazed how many images there are on some sites?

Deletion just rewrites the first character of the file header. That's why the file can be recovered, until it's overwritten by new data. A "shredder" rewrites the file space to zeros or ones, thereby destroying the file contents.
