To create a new disk follow these steps:

2. Choose a name , a letter and a password.
   
3. Click OK and you are done, the disk is created.

2.Open a Disk :

Three methods to open a disk.

1. Double click a disk from the disks list.
2. Right-click on the disk and select Open Disk.
3. Use the hot-key(ALT+Disk Letter) for the Open Disk operation.

 

3.Advanced Settings - General Tab :

	Minimize to tray at system startup :
	Check this box if you want Private Disk to minimize to tray when Windows starts up.

	Hide at system startup and display through hotkey :
	Allowing the user to run the program completely hidden to prevent other snoopers from even knowing it exists.

	Show drive in Window Explorer after opening :
	The disk can be set up to be automatically explored in Windows Explorer after it has been opened.

	Minimize to system tray when hit the close button :
	You can allow Control Panel to minimize when you click Close or Exit buttons. Set "Minimize to system tray when hit the close button" flag to allow minimizing.

4.Set Private Disk login password :

If, as recommended, you enable password protection of Private Disk, anyone trying to access the software will be required to enter the correct password information. Password-protecting the operation of Private Disk prevents someone using the Private Disk software without your permission.

Follow these steps to set a password to access this program:

1. Click "Operations" in the main window.
   
2. Select "Login Password " from the pull-down menu.
   
3. Type a password into the Password field.
   
4. Confirm your password, by re-typing it into the Confirm field, and click OK.
   
   *Leave the password field blank and click OK if you don't want to set password.
