Encrypt/Decrypt

PlatinumSecure can also be used to encrypt/decrypt files except for system files or files that are already encrypted with other applications. Double-click on a file to automatically encrypt/decrypt it. However, if the file is associated with an application, it will be opened with that application instead of being encrypted. Note that the encryption is not recursive, i.e., when you encrypt a folder, only the files immediately under that folder are encrypted. Other files under subfolders are not.

To find the Encrypt/Decrypt commands:

•Right-click on the Start menu,

•Right-click on a folder or icon on your Windows desktop, or

•In Windows Explorer, right-click on a selected folder, file, or group
