25.2. Managing File Vaults From Windows
BitDefender integrates into Windows to help you manage your file vaults more
easily.
The Windows contextual menu appears whenever you right-click a file or folder on
your computer or objects on your desktop. Simply point to BitDefender File Vault
in this menu and you gain access to all available vault operations.
Additionally, whenever you open (mount) a vault a new logical partition (a new
drive) will appear. Just open My Computer and you will see a new drive based on
your file vault. You will be able to do file operations on it (copy, delete, change, etc).
The files are protected as long as they reside on this drive (because a password is
required for the mounting operation). When finished, lock (unmount) your vault in
order to start protecting its content.
You can easily identify the BitDefender file vaults on your computer by the
BitDefender icon and the .bvd extension.
25.2.1. Create Vault
Keep in mind that a vault is actually just a file with the .bvd extension. Only when
you open the vault, a virtual disk drive appears in My Computer and you can safely
store files inside it. When creating a vault, you must specify where and under which
name to save it on your computer. You must also specify a password to protect its
