Note

Do not leave the OmniBook unattended in MS-DOS mode. The Smart Card
Security System is inactive in this mode.

If you don’t have a Smart Card BIOS, the normal BIOS password provides
security.

Using the Secure Folder

By default, your Secure folder is located in C:\Private.

After you have inserted your smart card and correctly entered your PIN,
you can create directories and files within the Secure folder in exactly the
same way as outside the Secure folder. The following guidelines apply.

Storing existing files in the Secure folder

Use your application or Windows Explorer to

Save as

or

Copy

to

the

Secure folder. Windows NT will also allow you to move files using drag
and drop.

Note that

Save as

can and

Copy to

will leave a copy of your document

in the unsecure part of your hard disk, which presents a potential security
risk.

If you move files out of your Secure folder they are decrypted.

Using an existing file in the Secure folder

Use your application to

Open

and then

Save

or

Save as

files stored in

your Secure folder just like you would files in any other folder. Files are
encrypted when they’re saved.

Deleting a file in the Secure folder

Use

Shift+Delete

to permanently delete files from your Secure folder

and not send them to the Recycle Bin.

Note

Do not use

Delete

to remove files from your Secure folder because this

would decrypt the files and place them in the Recycle Bin.
