file extensions and modified date all changed – please help reverse

[frustrated user]

Hello. I just started using axcrypt. Wish I didn’t as it has changed all my file entensions to .axx so now I don’t see previews of images and other files. And, more importantly, it changed all “date modified” of every file to yesterday when I encryted the folders. Ouch. The only way I can organize things is by seeing the date I made the files. Please help me — how do I reverse this?

That’s the whole point of encryption! If you were able to see a preview, so could an attacker.

Decrypt them.

Don’t use encryption unless you know what you’re doing because you can run into all sorts of problems. :-)
