File Encryption Woes....

[Rabid man]

I'm using axcrypt with xp64 and it works as file encryption should
work - however, I get an error "taking to long to open" which is more
annoying than anything...but seems to cause so file save problems...

Don't think there is a fix for this, using the latest version 1.6.3
and have played with compatibility settings

For the last 2 nights I have downloaded and installed 15+ encryption
programs and frankly I'm at a loss to the lack of logic. None of these
programs is slick and automated...

I want to be able to do the following....

right click a file and select encrypt, enter a password

When I later access the file, I want to double click it and be
prompted for said password
Once I enter the password and hit enter, I want the file to LAUNCH (no
programs i tried did this, isn't this obvious that we want the file
launched ?)

when I close the program, I want the program to AUTOMATICALLY ENCRYPT
again

To me, this is the logical way to do it...I don't want to perform
multiple clicks, and afterwards have to go back in and encrypt the
file once again...computers should be about AUTOMATION

in any event, if someone has a fix for axcrypt in xp64 or an
alternative encryption program that actually covers the basics, I
would be grateful..

Best Regards,
Randall

Break the project into steps. Use a batch file.

UNCRYPT %1.CRY %1.DAT
MyPgm %1.DAT
CRYPT %1.DAT %1.CRY
DEL %1.DAT

You'll have to gussy-up the batch file some for your particular
applications, and probably include some fail-safe procedures (like don't
delete your DAT file if the encryption fails), but that's the way I'd attack
the problem.

Why not use XP' native encryption? It operates silently and does what you
want.

Why use encryption at all? Unless you are protecting National secrets
and worried about National Security it is overkill, and frankly a
disaster waiting to happen. There are much easier ways to make your
data private from general prying eyes that don't carry the risks that
are inherent with Encryption.
