The "Preferences..." option under the file menu of Burn allows you to customize the behavior of Burn to suit how you use it. Below each option is described in detail.
This option, if selected, will cause Burn to ask you to confirm the destruction of each file. It provides a "Delete All"button in the dialog box to bypass further confirmations if you are confident you know what you are doing.
This option if selected will display a dialog box during destruction, showing the progress of the destruction. Burn will quickly destroy normal sized files, but you might want to select this option if you frequently burn large documents.
This pop-up menu lets you select the erase pattern Burn should use when overwriting files. If you are using only a single pass select all zeros or all ones for quick but good security. For maximum security you should probably select Random (and multiple passes).
This pop-up menu lets you specify the number of erase passes Burn should make over the file while destroying it. For maximum security, select at least three. Anything over a single pass is serious overkill though unless you expect your hard disk to be in the NSA's hands anytime soon.
The following screen shot from the Script Editor shows how you can script Burn:

and is fully backwards compatible with any Burn 2.2 script you may have.
