Encrypted files have a ".axx" extension added to their names, and are shown with a new icon.
To encrypt a file, right-click it in Windows Explorer, select 'AxCrypt > Encrypt' and enter a pass phrase plus the path to an optional strong key file.
To edit or view an encrypted file - just double-click it.
To decrypt, right-click and select 'AxCrypt > Decrypt' instead, and enter the correct pass phrase plus the path to the correct key file, if used.
To encrypt to a self-decrypting .exe program, right-click and select 'AxCrypt > Encrypt Copy to .exe' . You can send these files to anyone, they do not need to have AxCrypt installed.

Changelog
Windows Vista has introduced a brilliant new feature in the name of security (sic!) which causes the address space of processes to be randomly assigned. This caused a latent bug to surface, causing random crashes and taskbar freezes. Another latent bug caused Vista to silently kill the process instead of showing it's exception dialog. In the end a rather major edit with lots of cleanup as a result.
