Now, since this 5.3.0 version  the process is pretty simple!

Released Crypt4Free 5.1.0. Major update. Now it is possible to double click encrypted document, decrypt it, edit it in the associated application and then encrypt it again. And all this operations are performed in single mouse click!.

August 1, 2009

In this version we've added very handy feature - ability to directly edit encrypted document in single mouse click.

For example, we have the following encrypted document (it is usual document in RTF format):

Encrypted documents in Windows Explorer

Firstly, we double click License.rtf document.

Crypt4Free was already installed on this system and it intercepts the attempt to double click the encrypted file and displays the following password window:

double click encrypted document in windows 7

We enter right password, choose the destiny of encrypted file as "Delete" (encrypted file will be deleted automatically after successful decryption) and click OK button.

If password is correct, the decrypted document will be opened in associated application automatically (in our case it is WordPad):

Open encrypted wordpad rtf document in Windows 7 WordPad

We make changes in this document, then close the Windows 7's WordPad document.

Crypt4Free detects this situation and asks us - would we like to reencrypt the changed document using the same password? We click yes.

Would you like to reencrypt changed document

And the document is reencrypted:

In this version version, we've also made several minor interface enhancements. For example, when any file is decrypted from shell context menu, the text cursor is set to the password text field firstly.
