CRYPTED ( .CRYPTED) files are used by WinOptimizer, a disk optimization software designed by MagiCure, to store encrypted files. These encrypted files are created with AES 256-bit encryption and offer user security beyond what a traditional file name can provide. The extension of these files is unique and recognized by the Windows operating system, however, other programs are unlikely to recognize them.
The CRYPTED file extension is used for both the source file and the encrypted version. User can use the WinOptimizer tool to encrypt any type of file they want before sending it via e-mail or storing it on a remote server. This helps to protect sensitive data from being intercepted or accessed by third parties since the contents of these files are only accessible with the correct password. In addition to its ability to encrypt files, WinOptimizer also offers other useful features such as temporary file cleaning, disk defragmentation, disk cleanup and more.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions include .ENC, .KEY, .PGP, and .GPG.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CRYPTED) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CRYPTED extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CRYPTED file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CRYPTED extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CRYPTED extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CRYPTED file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CRYPTED file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CRYPTED file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CRYPTED file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CRYPTED file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
