I can only speak for the one I've used ... BCWipe is a utility that gives you the option to 'secure delete' individual files or alternatively to wipe over empty space on the disk to make previously deleted data unrecoverable.
You can't set BCWipe loose on your hard drive and tell it to delete everything except programs. You would have to drag everything you wanted to delete to the trash, empty it, and then run BCWipe on your C: drive, instructing it to over-write all free space on the disk. Depending on how badly you want to make your data unrecoverable, you can choose different levels of destruction and you can even make it wipe over the 'slack' space that is unused within files if you want to ensure that there isn't a single byte of unwiped free hard disk space left.
