How to setup FORLOCKER:

1 - Start "FORlocker_setup.exe"

2 - the programm will ask if you have python installed. type "Y" for yes, or "N" for not to answer.

3 - don't close the programm until it closes from itself

4 - you are ready to go! the .exe file is in the freshly created folder called "dist"

How to use FORLOCKER for the first time:

1 - run the programm. a Folder called "Locker" should appear in the directory the program is stored in.

2 - Put everything in the "Locker" folder you wish to encrypt

3 - close FORLOCKER

NOTE: encrypting in FORLOCKER will only encrypt the file's content, meaning it wont encrypt the name of a file. the file will only become not readable.
