\u003cli\u003eEncryption/Decrytion\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis application uses AES-256 as the encryption algorithm and encrypted files are given a \u003cstrong\u003e.msh\u003c/strong\u003e extention, the former extention is added before the \u003cstrong\u003e.msh\u003c/strong\u003e and after a \u003cstrong\u003e@-@\u003c/strong\u003e mark just as this

this app to wipe out files with leaving minor trace on the hard drive from that file, this feature is brought to the app using \u003cstrong\u003esdelete\u003c/strong\u003e command-line application.\u003c/p\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking folders\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe locking mechanism is adding the so called \"Magic Code\" after the folder's name which turns it's icon into a lock and not openable via the file browser (though it's still accessible via the command line)\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e\u003cimg src=\"resources/locked.png\" alt=\"locked-file\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHiding files/folders/volumes\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eHiding files and folders are achieved using the attrib command and hiding volumes and disks are achieved with removing the volumes index letter which removes it from the file browser (while keeping all the data within it intact).\u003c/p\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaking files/volumes write-protected/readonly\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe files are made write-protected by setting it's name to AUX, which is a reserved name in Windows (upto 10) and thus you can't delete the file from the browser, \u003cem\u003ethis method is NOT useful for Windows 11\u003c/em\u003e as there is no restriction on deleted files with reserved names in Windows 11.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e\u003cimg src=\"resources/with-aux.png\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe disks are write protected using Windows internal Diskpart utility.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n    \n## Logging\n\u003cp\u003eProper live logging is integrated into the app and you can watch the apps actions as it takes them.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"resources/logs.png\"\u003e\n\n# Why is this app so bad?\n\u003cp\u003eI looked like this when I wrote this app in 2015 :), and my primary OS was Windows 10 which I haven't used or programmed on for a couple of years, refining the app heavily takes some time for me which includes the time I need to review my VB.NET knowledge too.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eP.S: Me explaining the app to the camera for highschool competition\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cimg
