	To execute ShyFile through a command line ShyFile provides a command line interface that gives you the power of ShyFile without its usual graphical user interface. This way, a pre-determined process of either encoding, decoding or shredding a file/folder can be done by a single click on a button. Besides, any other program capable of implementing a command line can automatically assign ShyFile with a task as well, provided all the required elements to form such a command line were previously set. If you are looking to make use of command lines, but you would rather not want to feed another application with a ShyFile command line, we recommend you create a simple shortcut on your desktop to carry and initiate a command line with. In this case, what you need to do is, go to your ShyFile installation folder (probably c:\program files\shyfile 6), right click the ShyFile executable file (shyfile.exe) and choose 'create shortcut'. Cut that newly created shortcut out of the ShyFile application folder and paste it anywhere, e.g. onto your desktop. Now go to Desktop, right-click your shortcut, open the 'Properties' tab, look for the path of the shortcut to the actual executable file in your ShyFile application folder and put a command line right next to it (keep one space in between the path and the command line.) The following elements are needed in this very order to form a command line: encode/decode, src, dest, key Here's what your command line should look like: First of all, start with the path to the executable file of the ShyFile application (probably "c:\program files\shyfile 6\shyfile.exe".) Note that this path must be enclosed between parenthesis. encode/decode = choose either one of the terms. src = This is the path of the source file you intend to either encode or decode. dest = This is the file or folder path the results of this task will be saved in. If you are encoding a txt or html-file, the destination file will need to have either an hta or html-extension. If you are encoding a binary source file, the destination file will need to have a shy-extension. However, if you are looking to decode a secured binary file, you are not allowed to specify a destination file at all, but only a destination folder. Important: When specifying a folder, you need to name the folder between two slashes, left-to-right. Example: c:\sampleFolder\ key = This is the path of to the file on your computer containing your key. Once all parameters are perfectly set, click OK and close your shortcut. Now all you need to do to initialize the process of either encoding, decoding is to click on your icon on the desktop. EXAMPLES (OF COMMAND LINES TO ENCODE:) Say you intend to encode an invoice written on MS Word and saved on your root drive called 'myinvoice' making use of a key-file called 'mykey' on your root drive, and you want to have the encoded file named 'securedinvoice' and have it placed on your root drive as well, then your command line could look like this: "c:\program files\shyfile 6\shyfile.exe" encode src=c:\myinvoice.doc dest=c:\securedinvoice.shy key=c:\mykey.txt If you intend to encode a folder in the root path (with all its subfolders) called "documents", your command line could look like this: "c:\program files\shyfile 6\shyfile.exe" encode src=c:\documents\ dest=c:\documents.shy key=c:\mykey.txt If this time, you intend to encode a simple text file, your command line could look like this: "c:\program files\shyfile 6\shyfile.exe" encode src=c:\notepadFile.txt dest=c:\notepadFile.hta key=c:\mykey.txt EXAMPLES (OF COMMAND LINES TO DECODE:) If this time, you intend to decode this MS Word document, your command line could look like this: "c:\program files\shyfile 6\shyfile.exe" decode src=c:\securedinvoice.shy dest=c:\myInvoice\ key=c:\mykey.txt If you intend to decode the folder, your command line could look like this: "c:\program files\shyfile 6\shyfile.exe" src=c:\documents.shy encode dest=c:\documents\ key=c:\mykey.txt If this time, you intend to decode a selfdecrypting .hta file, your command line could look like this: "c:\program files\shyfile 6\shyfile.exe" decode src=c:\notepadFile.hta dest=c:\notepadFile.txt key=c:\mykey.txt EXAMPLE (OF A COMMAND LINE TO EXECUTE THE FILE SHREDDER:) Finally, let's say you intend to shred 'myinvoice' on your root drive, then use the following command line: "c:\program files\shyfile 6\shyfile.exe" shred c:\myinvoice.doc Batching ShyFile operations If you are looking to assign several tasks to ShyFile at once, we suggest you make use of a batch file. A batch file is a file (commonly created using Notepad) that can automatically run a batch of commands or programs. Once invoked, it can perform its tasks without further user interaction. Here's what you need to do to create a batch file: Run a simple text editor, e.g. Notepad (can't find Notepad? Go to "Start", go to "Programs", go to "Accessories", scroll down until you see Notepad. Double click to open it.) You can now write your commands into the empty file - but only one command per line. See the aforementioned chapter on how to write command lines. Save that file with a ".bat" extension. Your batch file can be executed just like an .exe file (double-click on it or run it from the Windows command prompt.)
