***How to install:***

Easy 1,2,3 setup ! 

1. Run the pcpro21a.exe and copy the files to any directory of your choice
   (or manually unzip the pcpro21a.zip file, depending from where you downloaded,
    because some distributors do only distribute 'pure' zip files).

2. Run the PC#P Control center (pcpctrl.exe): 
   At its first start it automatically completes the installation and
   displays this README.TXT !

   Note: No icon and no standard uninstall entry are created to ensure a 
   completly hidden mode when selected so by the user (see below).

3. Now select the options of your choice in the Control Center. Do not forget
   to SAVE them when your done. If you have selected AUTOSTART ( = default) 
   simply reboot your PC to start the keystroke logging.

Now type something (within an editor, not just on 
the keyboard !) to test PC#Protect. Please note that the DOS box is not logged.

>>> All recorded keystrokes are stored in PCPLOG.TXT 
    which is created in the directory of the pcpctrl.exe file resp. 
    the path shown in the dialog box.


IF you want to start PCProtect manually start the control center and press the
RUN PC#PROTECT button or double-click on syspcp.exe. If the button RUN IS pressed, 
PC#Protect IS already running.

Note: If you run the program in the STEALTH mode nothing 
(no popup, no icon etc.) appears !!!, and PC#Protect is running as a hidden
background task.

>>> A SHORT MANUAL

a.) Settings

Autostart:   	If ON, PC#P is automatically run at every PC startup


Popup:	    	Choose whether to display to popup at startup ( = notify
		the user that the keystrokes are logged) or not (= stealth mode).

Encryption:  	Choose ON to encrypt the logfile. To decrypt the logfile
		start the Control Center and press VIEW AND DECRYPT.

New file:    	Choose ON to erase the old logfile and start a new
	     	one at the next start up.

Current PATH:	Displays the actual path where the logfile (etc) will be stored.

New PATH:	If you started PCPCTRL in a new directory the PC'Protect installation 
		is changed and the NEW logfile and autostart path is shown here. Press
		SAVE to make this the current path.

>>> All new settings are used at the *following* start of PC#Protect ! ***


b. ) Buttons

RUN PC#PROTECT: Press, to start the logging.

STOP PC#PROTECT: Press, to stop the logging.

VIEW LOGFILE:   Press, to view a non-encrypted logfile

DECRYPT & VIEW LOGFILE:   Press, to decrypt and view a encrypted logfile

REGISTER:    Enter the supplied register code in the box and press enter
             to change the evaluation version to a full version - highly recommended !		

c.) Some notes

(1): You can easily move the PC#P files to any directory you want. Simply start
the control center afterwards form within the new directory 
and press SAVE to change the installation !

(2): PCPCTRL.exe (the control center) does not have to exist on the protected
PC once you made your settings, maybe you want to keep it on an extra disc and just
copy it to the directory if you need to change settings.

(3): If you enter the Control Center directly after an automatic startup, 
the new path will probably be something like c:\windows\desktop. 
I recommend to exit WITHOUT SAVE in this case, otherwise your logfile
will stored in this directory and appear on the desktop. This is, of course, 
only a problem if the pop-up option is switched on.

(4): PC#Protect keystroke logging does not work for the DOS box (yet).
