Windows Integration

HVCE v4 includes a direct CLI, a Tkinter GUI, and current-user shell integration scripts.

CLI

python hvce.py test
python hvce.py compress C:\Data C:\Data.hvce --profile balanced --recovery-percent 10
python hvce.py extract C:\Data.hvce C:\Restored --overwrite

GUI

python hvce_gui.py

The GUI supports:

compress folder/file;
optional password;
optional 10% recovery record;
extract;
inspect;
repair.

Context menu install

From the package directory:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File windows\install_context_menu.ps1

This adds current-user entries for:

right-click folder/file -> Compress with HVCE;
right-click .hvce archive -> Extract HVCE here;
right-click .hvce archive -> Open HVCE GUI.

Uninstall:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File windows\uninstall_context_menu.ps1

The .reg file is a template for manual users who prefer registry import.
