How do I completely disable the automatic encryption of files on XP

I have Windows XP SP3 and I download all of the files are automatically encrypted any directory I save the download in. It is not that simple that disabling the encryption of any specific directory, the file will be downloaded as encrypted regardless of whether the directory is encrypted or not.

I think that there is a group policy or other parameter which not only puts everything in My Documents to encrypted, but also everything I download, no matter where it is downloaded. It didn't matter whether the folder is encrypted, or even on my C: drive: a downloaded file is always encrypted. It is a problem if I want to move the file to another computer.

Is there a policy or a setting somewhere to turn off the automatic encryption of the registry?

Additional information:

In my registry, I found the following keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\AutoEnrollment

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\AutoEnrollment

And many other key under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\CertificateTemplateCache

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EFS\CurrentKeys

There is no button on EFS in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

There is no policy defined in Group Policy (gpedit.msc)

Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / public key policies / EFS file system

The Microsoft KB article in the "More information" section describes an EFSConfiguration setting that, when the '1' value, disables EFS of the registry.

"EFS can not be activated supposed after disabling this policy and strategy disable EFS.

  • How do I completely disable the hibernation on the Satellite Pro A300

    Hello! I know the questions with Satellite Pros do not wake up from hibernation, and I read the answers, which recommend an update of the BIOS and OS.

    My BIOS is the latest version, but the OS is XP and should stay that way - I bought the laptop, which could to downgrade (for business reasons).

    Since my computer laptop does not wake up from hibernation, I thought I would disable hibernation completely I don't need (I use the PC at home 99% of the time). I disabled hibernates from the Power Options in the control panel and also in the Toshiba Utilities, and the service is confirmed to be disabled in the BIOS when I check using F2 at startup.

    My problem is that the PC will still hibernate after an hour or two of being in standby mode, and then it won't wake up unless I reboot. Let me explain better: I'm home, I stop to work for lunch and before going to lunch, I put the PC to sleep. If I come back an hour later, he went into hibernation in its own right, despite the hibernation is disabled.

    So my question is: given that the software/BIOS Hibernate disabling does not what it says on the Tin, y at - it a HARDWARE setting that disables the Hibernate once and for all? Something like a rider to be moved or modified, or similar?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    Have you checked the Vista power options if hibernation is disabled?

    You can find it in the control panel-> Power Options

    There is a link to the advanced settings. Select this check box.
    There should be the option to enable / disable the hibernation

    Good bye

  • How do you completely disable the Adaptive brightness on Windows 8?

    I have a Thinkpad x120e; upgrade to Windows 8 last week and we tried EVERYTHING to get rid of this brightness Adaptive craptastic.

    The screen becomes clearer on a white background and fades slowly on the dark images. I feel like I'm tripping when I read the articles online.

    Yes, I turned the Adaptive brightness (battery and AC options). Yes, I tried each power plan. Yes, I created my own power management, through the Lenovo "power manager" and "Control panel" window. Yes, I optimized the display, I updated the driver for the monitor. I did everything. Even spent an hour chatting with Microsoft technical support (who says essentially nothing is false and restart my laptop). I swear to you that this thing is to go out the window if I have to deal with the darn labile brightness.

    Please help me. Please, please, please and thank you.

    Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically
    Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks
