- ÇCHKDSK won't run with Magic Folders installed. We disable ChkDsk because it
- can delete all your invisible files. For more information select "Help"
- at the main screen.
-
- ChkDsk is the only program we've tested that causes a problem. The
- following have been tested and work fine with Magic Folders: SCANDISK,
- DEFRAG, Norton Disk Doctor, and Norton Speed Disk.
-
- Do you use any other disk fix or defragmenting utilities not listed here?
- üYou must test your disk fix and/or defragmenting utilities to see if
- they're safe to use with Magic Folders. To do so, run them when your
- Magic folders are visible and invisible. DO NOT FIX ANY REPORTED ERRORS.
- If more errors are reported when your folders are invisible then do one
- of the following:
-
- 1. Remove the utilities (so you can't use them) or remove Magic Folders.
-
- 2. Use only one account in Magic Folders (just use the Master Account
- already created) and move the offending utility into one of your
- invisible folders. That way it can only be run when all folders and
- files are visible, and thereby safe.
-
- Please send the results of your testing to: support@pc-magic.com Select
- "Help" for more information.
- é Magic Folders makes any folders (directories) you choose and all the
- files in those folders completely invisible to others.
-
- These invisible folders and files can't be deleted, viewed, modified, or
- run. For all practical purposes they don't exist. Use Magic Folders to
- protect your finances, taxes, business and personal documents. Not only
- will others not know these files exist, they won't be able to
- accidentally delete or modify them either. With Magic Folders you can
- turn over your computer to your children or your co-workers without
- worrying if they'll delete, modify or view important files.
-
- Yet, just enter your password and you'll instantly have complete and
- normal access to all your folders and the files within. There's no need
- to un-hide each file or folder individually. And Magic Folders is
- totally transparent. No one need know your invisible folders/files even
- exist.
-
- If you wish, you can establish 5 different accounts so everyone using
- your computer can create their own invisible folders that only they have
- access to.
-
- If you share your computer you need Magic Folders. Use it to protect
- files you don't want others to delete, modify, view, or use. Keep your
- important files safe. Protect them with Magic Folders!
-
- "Magic Folders" works in Windows 3.x and Windows 95. It does not work in
- Windows NT or 32 bit file access of Windows 3.11 (Windows for
- Workgroups).
-
- You will need a blank floppy disk handy for use during installation.

- By choosing to install "Magic Folders" you signal that you understand and
- agree to abide by the above.
- âTo register via modem from outside the US or Canada please enter those
- numbers that must be dialed to place a direct call to the United States.
- These numbers often include a prefix to place an international call
- followed by the country code for the United States. If you want to put
- delays in your prefix dialing string, use a comma for every two second
- delay needed.
-
- Note: A successful registration may not be possible if a good modem
- connection cannot be made due to line quality or delays. In addition,
- international calling rates can be expensive, but in most cases will
- still be less than the $4 mailing surcharge added to overseas orders that
- are registered by other means.
- äThank you for registering MFD!
-
- When you registered you received a file called MFD.SYS which tells Magic
- Folders you're a registered user. MFD.SYS has been customized with your
- personal information (See "Registered to..." in the "Registration" Menu)
- and is for your use only. Giving MFD.SYS to others is illegal.
-
- Make a backup copy of MFD.SYS as it is the key to your registration.
- As long as it's in the same directory as MAGIC.EXE Magic Folders will be
- registered.
-
- One registration benefit is free updates for six months, provided you
- download them. You can get the latest version at our WEB site:
- "www.pc-magic.com" Just download the latest version and extract it
- into the directory where the current version is located.
-
- Note: If you charged your registration to your credit card the charge
- will be to RSE Software. Thank you for your support.
- àOne or more of the files needed to restore the last registered version
- are missing. If you got a disk from us when you registered (modem
- registrants don't unless they request one) then you can re-install that
- version.
-
- A better option is to visit our WEB page at: "pc-magic.com/", go to
- the "Previous versions" page and click on the latest version created
- within six months of your registration.
- åYou can have up to 5 Magic Folder accounts. Each account can create
- their own list of magic folders that are invisible to all other
- accounts. However, only your "Master" account can un-install Magic
- Folders and create new accounts.
-
- If multiple accounts are created, no account has access to all the hidden
- folders. Therefore you shouldn't create multiple accounts if you're
- hiding an "un-safe" disk utility. Having multiple accounts also makes
- backups tougher because no account has complete access to all hidden
- folders. See "Multiple Accounts" in "Help" for more important
- information.
-
- Do you still wish to create another account?

- (provided you download them - WEB site: www.pc-magic.com ). If you wish to

- continue using your currently registered version forever if you wish.
- You don't need to update.
-
- Only registered users may update their registrations at this special

- the full price. We will check.
-

- ëAt this time we will create a "KeyDisk". This disk will let you get
- into Magic Folders should you forget your password. It also lets you
- disable Magic Folders from DOS should you not be able to use the
- "Uninstall" feature within Magic Folders.
-
- To create your KeyDisk put a blank, formatted disk in your floppy drive.
-
- What drive is your KeyDisk in?
- èYour KeyDisk has been created. Remove your KeyDisk now and write the
- following on its label:
-
- "Magic Folder KeyDisk - See README.TXT if you forget password or need to
- uninstall and can't run Magic Folders."
-
- Keep your KeyDisk safe.
- ïMagic Folder KeyDisk
-
- Forget your Password?
-
- If you forget your password insert this KeyDisk, run Magic Folders and
-
- attempt to enter your password three times. After the third attempt
-
- Magic Folders will use this disk as a key to let you in. This only lets
-
- you into the Master Account. If you forget the password to another
-
- account you will have to un-install Magic Folders and re-install it again
-
- to gain access to all the hidden folders.
-
-
- Can't run Magic Folders?
-
- If you need to uninstall Magic Folders and you can't use the Un-install
-
- feature inside Magic Folders then boot from a system floppy, or if Win95,
-
- safe boot to "Safe Command Prompt Only". Then insert this disk into
-
- drive A:. At the DOS prompt enter "A:", and then enter "DISABLE".
-
- îYou can use Magic Folders to restrict access to your computer. With
- "AutoStart" installed Magic Folders asks you for your password whenever
- your computer boots. Enter your password and your magic folders will
- automatically become visible. How Magic Folders handles incorrect
- passwords depends on which of the following two options you choose.
- Select "Cancel" if you don't wish to install "AutoStart".
-
- ìIt appears you have 32 bit File Access for Windows 3.11 activated.
- Magic Folders will not work if 32 bit File Access is on. You can check
- by going into Control Panel, clicking "Enhanced", then "Virtual Memory"
- and checking the "Disk Status" section.
-
- Do you wish to continue?
- ÄMagic Folders didn't load correctly. MF.EXE (or whatever you renamed it
- during installation) needs to be run from within your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- Make sure the "LH pathname\MF.EXE" statement (where "pathname" is the
- directory where MF.EXE is located) is in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and that
- it directly proceeds the line that runs Windows. If it is and things
- still don't work, please send e-mail to support@pc-magic.com and
- reference Err 97.
