File to Compress

Lists the file chosen in the 'Select Executable' menu. An 'Information' button is available, offering specific details and characteristics on the chosen executable.

Output Filename

By default the output will overwrite the input. You may choose an alternate output file.

Create .BAK Backup File

It is highly recommended that you create a backup file when using Max Compression. The only exception would be if it were a file that you are compiling repeatedly and reproducibly. In this circumstance the added safety of creating a backup may be unnecessary. A created .BAK file may be reverted to its original state by simply renaming the '.BAK' to the original filename extension.

Overwrite Existing Output Files

If you are using a different name for the output file you will need to check this option to allow overwriting of any previous file by that name.

Update Time & Date Stamp

Normally the time and date of the source file are used on the output file. Check this option if you would like to use the current date and time for the output file time.

Force Executable Compression

ExeLock normally aborts processing of programs that it is unable to reduce in size. If you would like to process a file with ExeLock even though the file size does not reduce (or even increases) you can force it to do so with this option.
