        Windows File Protector (Shell Extension)
        ========================================


WinFPSE is the result of a merge of WinPTEE with MyGPGME. Large code
parts of WinPTEE were buggy and it was difficult to maintain them.
The new project use a lot of existing code, which was already tested
a lot, and thus it should be easier to maintain it and a lot of more
stable and userfriendly.

The installation procedure is also much easier.


Installation
============

Copy the winfpse.dll file to your Windows system directory (e.g.
c:\windows\system, c:\windows\system32 or c:\winnt\system32).

Then use regsvr32 to install the DLL.


c:\windows\system> regsvr32 winfpse.dll

Done. Now the explorer context menu should have a new pop-up menu with
the name "WinPT".


*** IMPORTANT ***
The program needs GPG >= 1.2.3 and it assumes that it was installed
properly before. Make sure the "gpgBinary" registry entry was set.
If not, you need to set it manually:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\GNUPG\gpgProgram (String).


To uninstall the DLL, you can simply run regsvr32 again:

c:\windows\system> regsvr32 /u winfpse.dll.


Update
======

If you want to replace an older version of WinFPSE with a newer
version, there is no need to run regsvr32 again. Just overwrite
the file in the system directory. If you have problems, make sure
you currently do not use WinFPSE because otherwise the DLL is locked
and it is not possible to replace it.


Problems
========

If you have problems feel free to mail me. But please make sure that
you include all kind of information I need to track down the problem
(OS type and version, GPG version and keyring settings, and more...).

Alternative you can also use the winpt-users@lcsweb.net mailing list
to ask there. But you must be subscribed because the list is closed!


Overview
========

The project is in an early stage and thus not all parts are fully
implemented and/or all features are available. For now the core functions
(encrypt, decrypt, verify and sign) should work without too much problems.



FPLOG
=====
This program is a small tool to display signature results in
a list box. It does not make sense to use this program alone.
Just copy the binary to a directory which is included into
the PATH. If you are in doubt, use your windows directory
(c:\windows, c:\winnt, whatever...). WinFPSE will *not* work
without this program.
