Re: File Encryption Options
boy is this frustrating - people who are writing this encrypt software
need to smarten up...
I have tried like 12 programs now and none of them work in a slick
logical fashion...
If one encrypts a file, they would usually like it to go back to an
encrypted state after use. Since we are using
computers, automation is key...
not one of the programs I have tried launches the file after entering
the password. ~!!!!
So I ask you, why would I just want to decrypt a file if not 9 times
out of 10 to view it ?
and following the viewing, since I encrypted it in the first place, I
want it to return to that
state AUTOMATICALLY !!! HELLO, anyone home....this is so
microsoftonian that I can't
believe it, I expected to find some slick programs out there but its
just been several hours of
frustration now...no logic, nobody has thought it through and made the
process as painless
as possible...Its like these people wrote the programs and never used
them...
as mentioned, axcrypt does all of this beautifully, simple logic, but
does not work without
"this application is taking to long to open" errors with xp64.... I
have also experimented with
compatibility modes with axcrypt but to no avail...
