How to Use (PicoCrypt)

Installation

No installation is needed. Just download and saves the executable file into your desktop or any other directories of your choice. You can even run it on your USB memory stick!

Running the utility

When you first run the utility, it will ask you for a default password. This default password will be later use for encrypting and decrypting all the files. If you want to use a different password for each file, then click "CANCEL" when prompted. You can set the default password later.
