It stores your files in encrypted form on virtual hard drive with password authentication, but when it is requested by any application, it gets decrypted on-the-fly.

The CryptoExpert system mounts a volume file to create a “virtual drive” that appears to applications and users like any other physical drive.

Any data you attempt to write to this drive is intercepted by CryptoExpert; it is then encrypted, and written to the volume file. Attempts to read from this volume are also intercepted, and the relevant data is read by CryptoExpert from the volume file, decrypted, and presented to the application trying to read the data. As a matter of fact, CryptoExpert is programmed to make things quite easy for you always.

It is also capable of protecting the contents of .bat, .vbs and .js files from being altered by other users accidentally or otherwise.

LoseThos is a 64-bit supplemental operating system for a niche – programming as entertainment. The envisioned usage model is like that of a classic Apple II or Commodore 64; it has no security and allows full access to memory, I/O ports and all assembly instructions from your programs. Basically, the average programmer has rights normally restricted to system programmers.

The fact that a programmer can tinker with kernal ideas or playing around with multicore makes this one program to watch. Users can write games, but I like system programming. It is one operating system easier to use than Linux; it does not take a long time before a novice gets to understand the code. This version already comes with new changes that include; new BitMap graphic editing tool, Eagle diving-for-fish game, improved artwork, and a few Bug fixes.
