Our products have been designed as the Windows Explorer extensions, and can also work with any file manager that supports Explorer extensions.

Is my file manager compatible?

You can easily test it. First install one of our products:

• Kryptel
• Silver Key

Support for Explorer extensions

Select any file or folder in the file manager window and then click the right mouse button. If your file manager supports Explorer extensions, it will show a vertical menu, and you will see 'Encrypt' or 'Encrypt to EXE' command somewhere near the top of the menu (see the screenshot).

Support for Windows drag-and-drop

Select any file or folder in your file manager window, and drag it to the Kryptel or Silver Key desktop icon, as the screenshot illustrates. If the program starts and asks for a password, then your file manager supports the Windows drag-and-drop, and you will be able to encrypt objects dragging them to the program icon.

My file manager has failed all the tests!

You still can use our products! Run the Windows Explorer, and encrypt your files or folders dragging them to the program icon, or using the right-click menu.

What file managers are compatible?

Unfortunately many file managers don't implement correctly interface with Windows Explorer extensions. We recommend Windows Commander - an excellent program which fully supports integration.

Total Commander - A Shareware file manager for Windows® 95/98, Windows NT®, and Windows® 3.1.

With the Kryptel add-on installed, the Total Commander provides direct support for Kryptel data files.
