Advanced Options

You may want to totally destroy the original unprotected file after the protection process is finished. This can be done automatically by Crunch Machine. To do so, click on the pliers button before starting a process and select When Finish -> Delete Source File.

This function destroys only unprotected data files. Files protected by Crunch Machine are never deleted. If you want to delete them you will have to do it manually.



Keeping it private

As you might already know, many Windows programs can be associated with their data file by the means of an Icon.
For example, you've seen that zipped files are easily found by it yellow folder inside a press. Picture files icons show what type of picture format those files are, etc.

Crunch Machine crunched files are identified by it extension, .isf, and also can be visually identified by it icon. However, you can prevent this, in case you want them to appear as miscellaneous data and share the default Windows assigned icon for unknown data. This prevents for easily discovering that those are data files used by a specific application.

To bypass the default setting which shows the icon, press the pliers button and uncheck the option Register Icon located under the File Associations menu. This is a local setting. This means that if you move or send those crunched files to a computer where Crunch Machine is not installed, the icon shown will be the default Windows assigned icon for unknown files.

Additionally you can allow or avoid Windows to knowing what application to launch when some one double clicks on a crunched file and also enable or disable the Open with Crunch Machine option which appears when you right click the mouse button over a crunched file on Windows Explorer. To enable or disable this option click on the pliers button and select or deselect Context Menu option located under File Associations.

To make Register Icon and File Association changes active, restarting the computer is required for some Windows versions. If changes are not automatically updated by your Windows model, they will the next time you turn the computer on.
