Getting Started

When starting HTMLProtector, you will see interface like illustrated below. Part 1 contains ten tabs, each of which holds specific functions; Part 2 is a series of buttons used for program operation; Part 3 is the 'hint' area used for displaying help.

It is very easy to use HTMLProtector; simply select a web page or directory of web pages that you want to encrypt, set the necessary options, then press "Protect" to finish... that's it!

Let's go through the process step by step. For this example, let's say we want to protect the HTML file c:\website\index.htm.

Step 1: Select the "Input" tab, then select "Protect following files"; Press the "Add" button to add the HTML file "c:\website\index.htm", enter "c:\website" as "Site root folder" and choose "Generic HTML Page" for "File type".

Step 2: Browse the other eight tabs "Output", "Encryption", "Meta Tag", "Script", "Password", "Image", "Source Code" and "Tag to Skip" to ensure their configurations match your needs.

Step 3: Once you press the "Protect" button, HTMLProtector will encrypt while a progress bar will display the status. Once finished, you can access the finished product from the "Result" tab.

The above steps describe the basics of using HTMLProtector, the following section will explain each of the above in more detail.
