Quick Start Guide  
Welcome to SecurFlash, Version 8.2 software from encryptX Corporation (www.encryptX.com) . The  
SecurFlash software encrypts and hides sensitive information on removable drives such as USB flash drives,  
removable hard drives, and also works to encrypt and hide files on your local PC hard drive. Encryption is  
designed to prevent unauthorized access to confidential data, such as files for corporate projects, personal  
finances, entertainment (e.g. video and audio files) or can be used as a repository to store all your other  
usernames and passwords in a central and hidden location. When you encrypt files through the SecurFlash  
application, they are also hidden on the drive from the PC Operating System so that they can only be seen and  
opened by first running the SecurFlash application and providing the password.  
Supported Operating Systems. The software is supported on Microsoft Windows 2000, XP Home, XP Pro,  
and Vista. The software is not supported on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Linux, or any of the  
Macintosh operating systems. You can encrypt and hide any type of file supported by the Microsoft Windows  
Operating System through the SecurFlash software.  
Important Product Use Concepts  
1. Use of the SecurFlash software is not mandatory to the use of the drive. If you do not want to encrypt  
and hide files on the drive that the software is installed on you can simply drag and drop or save files to the  
drive within your application or copy files using Windows Explorer.  
2. If you forget both your password and recovery hint you will not be able to access the encrypted and  
hidden files on the drive unless you have upgraded. You will need to remember either your password  
or your recovery hint question to be able to access your encrypted and hidden files. If you are concerned  
about forgetting your password and recovery hint, you should consider upgrading to the “Corporate  
Version” of the SecurFlash software by running the selecting the Tools > Upgrade menu selection from  
within the SecurFlash application. You do not have to reinstall or download new software. You will have to  
pay a small fee to upgrade – which is explained in the “Learn more about Corporate Features” dialog box  
when you select Tools > Upgrade from within the SecurFlash application. The Corporate Version of the  
software integrates with a web accessible server application that provides Administrator password recovery  
for users that forget their password and recovery hint, provides audit tracking of encrypted file system  
content, provides dynamic revocation of authorized password access to encrypted file system content if the  
drive is lost/stolen and the password is compromised, and provides optional enforcement of strong  
passwords and periodic password changes.  
3. It is very important to understand that when you encrypt files using the SecurFlash software they  
are stored in a hidden and encrypted file system on the drive. The encrypted files and folders that you  
have protected through the SecurFlash software are not visible to applications or the Microsoft Windows  
Operating System. You cannot launch these files directly from the drive from within the Operating System  
or from within other applications, such as Microsoft Office. The only way to access these files is to run the  
EncryptX SecurFlash application by double clicking the Run SecurFlash.exe from the drive where it is  
installed and providing the correct password. Only then will you be able to see the hidden and encrypted  
files and folders that you have previously stored in the encrypted file system on your drive. You can then  
open the files and modify them within your applications by double clicking the files that are shown to you in  
the SecurFlash encrypted and hidden file system.  
4. You can open and edit your files from within the SecurFlash software and any changes will be  
automatically saved. Any edits you make to files that you have previously encrypted and are opening  
from within the SecurFlash application will be automatically saved back in to the hidden and encrypted file  
system on the drive, when you SAVE or EXIT your application. If you perform a SAVE AS, the SecurFlash  
application assumes you want to save your changes outside of the encrypted file system on the drive.

III.  
Decrypting  
When the user decrypts files, the SecurFlash software decrypts the files to the user specified location.  
A copy of the original encrypted files will remain in the encrypted file system until deleted.  
After the decryption of a file or folder, the decrypted item is not protected and can be freely used. The  
user can choose to decrypt files to a hard or networked drive as well as to removable storage media.  
The user can decrypt files through the SecurFlash window interface or by selecting the files in this  
window and dropping them onto a location in Windows Explorer.  
Decrypt through dragging-and-dropping  
1. In the left pane of the SecurFlash window, select the folder that contains the file (s) to decrypt and  
select the file (s) in the right pane.  
a. Drag-and-drop the selected items onto a folder displayed in Windows Explorer – or directly to  
the desktop.  
b. If you have your application open (e.g. Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Media Player, etc.)  
You can also decrypt by dragging and dropping the file from the SecurFlash window directly on  
to the associated application. This will automatically decrypt the file and display it within the  
application.

IV.  
Opening and Updating Encrypted Files

modified version to the encrypted file system and hides the previous version.  
To open a file, double-click the file shown in the SecurFlash window.  
– or –  
Select the file and click the toolbar button for opening files.  
As long as there is an application associated with the file type installed on the PC, the file immediately  
opens in the application.  
Note: To add the modified version of an opened file to the encrypted file system, the user can save the  
changes before closing the file and application.  
V.  
Deleting Files  
To increase the available space on the removable drive, the user can delete files from the encrypted file  
system. There are several ways to delete encrypted files, each having different consequences.  
Encrypted files can be marked for deletion so that they no longer appear in the user interface but are  
still in the encrypted files. To permanently delete the files, the user can Empty the files and folders from  
the encrypted file system.

initially because they have not yet been emptied from the file system. To permanently delete the  
files are recover space on the drive you must also Empty the files/folders that you marked for  
deletion. Files can be marked for deletion first and their space recovered later.
