You have probably noticed that after you've installed Encryptability, it put a small icon on the system tray (also known officially as the "taskbar notification area"):

If you don't see this icon, it could be because your computer is configured not to display all icons available. To make it display the Encryptability icon, right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, choose Taskbar settings from the menu, and then click on the link in the Notification area part that reads Select which icons appear on the taskbar. (This procedure may be different in your version of Windows).

When the Encryptability taskbar icon is visible, you can click (or right-click) on it to display a menu that you can use to perform different actions related to Encryptability:

Besides the commands to stop, start, or display properties of the Virtual Encrypted Disks, the menu contains other commands that you may find useful:

• Start All

  This command appears on the menu if you have created more than one Virtual Encrypted Disks. It gives you a quick way of starting all Virtual Encrypted Disks at once, without having to choose the Start command for each Virtual Encrypted Disk individually.

• Stop All

  This command appears on the menu if you have started several Virtual Encrypted Disks. When you choose this command, Encryptability attempts to stop all active Virtual Encrypted disks. Note that if a Virtual Encrypted Disk cannot be stopped because, for example, it still has open files, Encryptability displays a notification about such a situation and waits for your response before actually stopping it.

• Run Encryptability

  This command has the same effect as running Encryptability application using its Desktop icon.

• Forget ... password(s)

  This command appears on the menu only if you have previously used the Remember this password for this session command when starting a Virtual Encrypted Disk. You may want to use this command if you want Encryptability to "forget" such passwords until next time you choose to remember them.

• Stop All and Forget all password(s)

  This command appears on the menu if you have previously started one or more Virtual Encrypted Disks or if you have previously used the Remember this password for this session command when starting a Virtual Encrypted Disk. When you choose this command, Encryptability attempts to stop all active Virtual Encrypted disks and also "forgets" the previously remembered password. Note that if a Virtual Encrypted Disk cannot be stopped because, for example, it still has open files, Encryptability displays a notification about such a situation and waits for your response before actually stopping it.

• PANIC

  This command appears on the menu only if you have enabled the appropriate option and if you have previously started one or more Virtual Encrypted Disks or if you have previously used the Remember this password for this session command when starting a Virtual Encrypted Disk. This command has the same effect as the Stop All and Forget all password(s) described above, except that if a Virtual Encrypted Disk cannot be stopped because, for example, it still has open files, Encryptability unconditionally ("brutally") stops such a disk without displaying a notification and waiting for your response.

If for some reason you don't want the Encryptability icon to appear on the taskbar, you can hide it using the Windows Taskbar Settings screen, or by deselecting the appropriate option on the Encryptability Settings screen.
