Shutting down Encryptainer
Return to Introduction  Previous  Next

To shut down Encryptainer:  
 
1.   Make sure that no application is using files on any loaded Encryptainer drive. If you have made any changes to the files, be sure to save those files and close them all.  
     
2.   Click on the "Shutdown & Exit" button.

3.   Encryptainer unloads all loaded volume files on clicking "Shutdown & Exit". If any application has files open, the unload operation cannot proceed. In this case, Encryptainer displays the following error message and cannot unload the drive.  
 
unload_error     
 
4.   While unloading, Encryptainer automatically closes any Explorer windows that you may have opened by the "View in Explorer" button. But if it can not close them for some reason, you may do so yourself.  
 
5.   When the Shut Down completes, the Encryptainer icon disappears from the icon bar. If you want to use Encryptainer again, you must launch it from the Start menu or from the Windows desktop icon.
