File Encryption XP is security software designed to encrypt any type of file on your Windows computer. You can protect Microsoft Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and many other file formats. The program uses the Blowfish algorithm with a 384-bit key, which provides strong protection for your data.
The best part? Your encryption password is never stored inside the encrypted files. This makes it nearly impossible for anyone to access your protected information without the correct password.
Key Benefits You Get

Easy to Use Interface
The program has a simple and intuitive design that looks similar to Windows Explorer. Even if you have never used encryption software before, you can protect your files easily. All the tools and options are organized in a way that makes sense, so you do not need to be a computer expert.
Self-Extracting Encrypted Files
One of the most useful features is creating self-extracting encrypted files. These special files work on any Windows PC without installing File Encryption XP. You can send these files by email or copy them to a USB drive, and the recipient only needs the password to open them.
Secure File Deletion (Wiping)
When you delete files normally in Windows, they can often be recovered using special software. File Encryption XP includes a secure deletion tool that removes files completely and permanently. This is helpful when you want to delete the original file after encrypting it, making sure only the encrypted version remains.

Special Tools and Functions
Built-in Password Generator
Creating strong passwords is important for security. File Encryption XP includes a password generator that creates complex passwords for you. These passwords include uppercase letters, lowercase letters and numbers, making them very difficult to guess.
Activity Logging
The program keeps a record of all operations you perform. You can check this log file to see what you encrypted or decrypted and when you did it. If you prefer extra privacy, you can turn off this logging feature.
Smart File Search
When you start the program, it automatically scans your storage device and finds all encrypted files. These files appear in a special “Search” panel where they are grouped together for easy access. You can quickly decrypt or delete any encrypted file from this panel.
Perfect for Portable Use
File Encryption XP works great on removable storage devices. You can install it on a floppy disk, USB memory stick or external hard drive. Then you can use it on any Windows computer by connecting your device. The program is optimized specifically for this type of portable use.
