Thanks Svante.  So can you help me understand how the password for decryption is set into the executable?  Is it self-contained in the executable and hence can be changed from within?   What if I download the executable to another computer?  Is the password that was set up embedded into it when I download? And how does the email address used to download the standalone executable factor into this?  Presumably, downloading an executable using the registered email address embeds the password set up into the executable? Or is the email address  just for Axcrypt contact purposes and for logging onto the server?

Thanks!
