GDPerso is a table of several rows of five columns each. There are initially 108 lines, but you can add as many as necessary. At the intersection of a line and a column is a box containing text. Each line corresponds to an entry, whose name is in the first column (the "Name" column), the internet address in the second (the "Address" column), the login in the third one (named "Login"), the password in the fourth (so-called Password), and a note of text in the fifth column (column "Note").

1.Installation

You copy GDPerso and you launch it, simply. There is no setup to run, no modification of the registry, no changes made to Windows. Just copy the Gdperso folder, which is in the downloaded archive, to the destination and to the location of your choice. All files provided in the archive are to be copied, including VB40032.DLL, which is a visual basic function library. Then you can put a shortcut to GdPerso.exe and GenereCles.exe in your start menu or on your desktop.

2.First run

When Gdperso is started without arguments, it first looks for the Defaut.gdp file. At first launch, this file does not exist, and Gdperso displays an empty array.

The screen displayed during the first run of GDPerso.

Enter a title describing what is common to the entries in the table. Since this is your first table, you should enter the table that will be loaded by default, defaut.gdp. Enter a title like: "My frequent passwords" where it says "My title (to modify)".
Then enter the data from line 1: a name in the first column, an internet address in the "Address" column, an identifier in the third column, and a password in the fourth. You can click on the button with a magnifying glass if you find this way easier.
If you want to protect your data with a password (of course, you want!), set one by going to the menu "Options / Change master password or key file"...
If you want to use a key file, locate this file by checking the box "Use a secret key" and searching the file.
Save the table and the information attached to it with the "File / Save as" menu... and name it Defaut.gdp.
You have just created your first table, and now Gdperso will load it automatically at launch.
Finally, associate the .gdp files to GDPerso using Windows. Just double-click on Defaut.gdp or another .gdp file, then Browse your disks to choose GdPerso.exe.

As you can see, using this program is simple and logical. Discover the other functions by browsing the menus and using it.

3.Associate a browser with addresses (optional)

If you want the page whose address is in the current line and the address column to load automatically in a browser just with a double click on the line, you must specify this browser. For that, go to the menu "Options / Preferences...", then "General preferences". In the "Browsers" frame, Click on the button ">|<". In the dialog box that appears, look for the executable of your browser: iexplore.exe, chrome.exe, ... You can also, if you are a little hacker, indicate a batch file .bat, by choosing in the dialog box the files of type command files (* .bat).
When you will double click on a line, you will have the possibility to choose the browser which will display it among those which you will have stored in the preferences.

4.How to use GdPerso

After entering the information of a line, their use is easy:
-double-click anywhere on the line,
-check the information in the new window, then click OK. The browser will display the adress you want.
If you have enter a login and a password, paste (Ctrl-V) the login in the right place on the page,
click on the GDPerso button "Paste the login", and paste the password on the page.
If, in preferences, you specified a strictly positive number of characters to remove to the password on the left or on the right, the clipboard contain just a part of the password. Place the cursor and type the missing characters at the beginning and/or at the end; they are displayed on the left and/or on the right of the text "Paste the login".

5.Lost data? never!

You can think of everything, a day comes when the media used to save your files no longer works, or where the servers you are using are no longer available. Do not think that the way you are storing your data is totally safe, because experience shows that if a problem is possible, it will necessarily happen someday. For example, computer servers may experience hacker attacks. Your hard drive may fail without warning you, your U.S.B. key is not eternal, etc. How to do ?
With GDPerso, I advise you to save your data files each time you add or modify a line, an entry, an account, and especially when you have entered a new password.
In this way, even if you lose an encrypted data file, whose extension is gdp, you will still have its previous version, and the one that was still older.
For example, for a data file named example.gdp, there is the previous version named example.gdp.2, and the one before, named example.gdp.3.
To reload a backup of GDPerso, go to File/Open, then click on the triangle to the right of the line named "Files of type:" and choose "G.D.P. Level 2 or Level 3 Backups".
You should regularly copy all your data files and their backups to another media.
