Encrypting other documents

You are likely to have confidential documents on your computer which were created before you installed Secure Notes Organizer. You may want to encrypt these documents as well. To encrypt these you will have to do the following.

From the Tools menu at the top of the program window select Encrypt File. (You can also access the Encryption module by clicking on the Encryptor icon from the horizontal icon tool bar immediately below the menubar). The following dialogue box appears.

This box is common to both encryption and decryption functions.

1 Click the Encryption button to specify you want to encrypt files.
2 From the folder tree on the left hand panel select the document      that you want encrypted.
3 Enter a password in the Password text box.
4 Repeat the same password in the Confirmation text box.
5 If you wish, you can enter a clue in the Riddle text box. This is optional. However, if you think you that you could forget the  password in the future, fill in a clue that you will associate with the     password, should you happen to forget. For instance, if you entered the password 'encumbrance', you could set the clue to read 'What obstructs work?' When you are decrypting this     particular document this clue will be displayed in the Decryption window.
6 From the Destiny of Source File options at the bottom select one      of the three options provided. The Shred it option provides maximum security by shredding the original file, while the Leave it alone option provides the least. Should you choose to destroy it, take care to memorise the password. Otherwise you will never be able to retrieve  the data.

Your file is now encrypted and can be decrypted only by those who possess the password for that particular file.
