Chapter 3. Using eWallet
While using eWallet, keep in mind that some options may be unavailable or work differently
depending on what kind of object (card, category, etc.) you have selected or are viewing.
Right click on objects to bring up a context menu for that object, or hover over an object
to bring up a tool tip describing that item.
3.1. eWallet Files
Files are the topmost level of information used by eWallet. In eWallet, we call files wallets.
Just like any other file on a Windows PC, wallets are completely separate from one another.
You can have as many wallets as you want, each with different kinds of information. For
example, you might have one wallet for work and one for personal information. Each wallet
has its own password.
If you ever lose track of your wallet files, doing a Search on your Windows PC for:
*.wlt
will typically find every wallet on your computer.
Opening Wallets is handled differently on different devices. When you run eWallet, however,
it will automatically attempt to open the last wallet you used. You may never need to open
your wallets any other way.
Double clicking on a wallet file will open a wallet in eWallet. You can also open wallets by
clicking on the File/Start button in the upper left corner of eWallet and then selecting
Open… from the menu.
You can make changes to your wallet files using copy, delete, rename, or move files using
File Explorer in the same way that you make changes to other file types on your computer.
You can Create New Wallets to store your information if you like. Click the File/Start
button in the upper left corner of eWallet, and select New from the menu.
Password protected wallets have one password. eWallet will prompt you to select this pass-
word when you first create a new wallet. The password is required to view the contents, or
change the password, of a password protected wallet.
On your Windows PC you can copy or move cards between eWallet wallets using your
system clipboard (Copy/Paste or Cut/Paste).
If you’d like to share a wallet in a workgroup environment and have multiple users access it
from their Windows PC desktop computers, you can place your wallets in a directory on
your network. The first person that opens the wallet can write to the file, everyone else will
