Hi zayatu,

Here's how. If you look under Start, click Help and support, to "encrypt a file" there is much more information.
Please let us know if we can do anything for you. Encrypt or decrypt a file or folder

Encryption of files and folders is a way to protect against unauthorized access. EFS (ENCRYPTING File System) is a Windows feature that allows you to store information on your hard disk in an encrypted format. Encryption is the best protection that Windows provides to help you keep your information secure.

To encrypt a file or folder

  1. Right click on the folder or file you want to encrypt, and then click Properties.

  2. Click the general tab and then click Advanced.

  3. Select encrypt it the contents of the box to secure the data and then click OK.

    Note

    • The first time you encrypt a folder or file, you should back up your encryption certificate. If your certificate and key are lost or damaged and you do not have a backup, you will not be able to use the files that you have encrypted.

To decrypt a file or folder

  1. Right click on the folder or file you want to decrypt, and then click Properties.

  2. Click the general tab and then click Advanced.

  3. Disable encrypt it the contents of the box to secure the data and then click OK.

  • Images and photos falling outside of DIVs?

    Hi, I came across another problem, this one is not that bad because we can always consider movies and photos, it's just harder for smartphone and tablets to users to view. Recently I did an update of this site to make it so it has three different configurations each can be viewed on different devices such as desktop computers, smart phones and tablets. Everything went very, especially with the help of the people on this forum who helped me in the coding of the problems that I had here and there. The problem here is that there is some photos and movies on the site which do not adjust to the size of the Tablet and smartphone media queries, making it so that people have to use the scroll bar to see the entire thing.

    http://showcasenc.com/

    That above is the website, if you view it on smartphone and Tablet there's a youtube movie posted on the first page before, it's the problem that I am facing this stage. Is it possible to get these movies and images to the size with the container of the media phone queries and Tablet as everything else on the page?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Delete all the images and Photos into folders, I create

    OK, I can't leave the Photos to manage my pictures for anything other than editing.  I have a backup hard drive which has thousands of photos I worked tirelessly to organize into folders that make sense to ME (as well as for my wife).  Because of my organization, with any windows machine, it's easy for me to import them from my iPhone in a folder on the desktop, then the name or the tag and move these photos on this windows computer records, as well as on this hard drive.  It is a breeze to find an image or an object with a lot of different pictures, I'm the one who ranked.  It is a breeze to do a mass deletion, or a mass move if I decide to change the category of several images.  However, with Photos, just try to move pushes to hell.  Not to mention the fact that IF someone were to have access to my Mac without my permission, if they wanted to look at my pictures and videos on all of them would be in pictures to facilitate navigation.  There are a lot of photo work that I don't want anyone other than myself, my wife and occasionally a customer that the photos are to have access to the as they may contain confidential information or even to design prototypes.  WHY can't Apple let me manage my own photos?  I'm not griping about photo editing features, I find them to be good for the most part.  I want to just connect my iPhone and copy all the pictures out of it in my own folder structure and remove them from the phone.  If I need to change the one I can still do from the phone or Photos if Photos then would allow me to remove this image pictures and put it back in my files.  Please tell me that someone else out there has a similar desire and figured out how to do this...

    WHY can't Apple let me manage my own photos?

    No problem just don't do the - Photos is completely optional

    Apple provides Photos for people who want a modern photo management with workflows without loss with database capabilities and the Image Capture (or do the PC way and use the finder) and listen to samples for those who don't want an up-to-date Digital Asset Manager like pictures and prefer to handle the files rather than photos - use either or any third-party solution you like best

    But you can't do what you want with Photos - you must use the correct software for your personal desires and is not pictures

    New to Lightroom 6.  Were able to import photos previously. Now when I try to import Photos and videos, I specify a folder that contains a mixture of NEF and JPG images, and thumbnails will appear.  However, they are grayed out. When I hit Import, I get a message that says no. Photos import active.

    This means that you have previously imported these pictures/videos into Lightroom, and you must not (and are not allowed to) import them again.

    Go to your library Module (not the import dialog box) and find the photos, then you can make use of them in any way you want in Lightroom.

    You will need to use Illustrator to convert it to JPG. Or ask someone with Illustrator or compatible app to convert it for you. You can try to import into Photoshop for editing, but you will not be able to increase the size without loss of quality.

  • Explain the relationship between libraries, albums and photos in pictures.  Where are the images stored?

    Looking for info on the relationship between libraries, albums and photos in the Photos app.  I can create several libraries containing photos and unique albums.  Can I put the same photo in libraries and the different albums?  By making a copy it creates a link to the original or a new photo?  Where are located the photo files?  When scanning photo to my Mac Pro files are placed in a folder structure, copy these photos in an album Photos using the original file or he places a copy in a database?

    Bottomline, I'm frustrated by the method of collection, the albums, the place and date.  I want store related photos in a separate album.   Example: A library for a family, containing albums of members of their family. Maybe the photos have duplicate in different albums.

  • 3 related issues: slow movement; the photos are all from the first image; and no sound from the soundtrack to the DVD downloaded.

    I put a DVD in my computer. It plays fine in Windows Media Player. When I transfer to Windows Movie Maker Live, three things happen: 1) the thumbnails are all the same - the first image. (2) the movement is slow. I tried it accelerates, but it is simply not the movement in real time - either too slow or too fast. (3) the soundtrack plays for a fraction of a second.

    What is the problem and how to fix it?

    I converted DVD to WMV format. This fixes the movement of the image and I can hear the music (not quite synchronized), however the thumbnails are still just the first image. In addition, every single feature that I blow (editing, effects, forwards, etc.) the picture freezes and yet the soundtrack plays again.

    ===================================
    It is normal that video to be the first image thumbs.

    Since it was a DVD... I guess it's a big project
    and the gel could be due to a lack of system resources.
    If you wait it can dissipate.

    Some video converters are better than others... Freemake
    maybe worth a try.

    It is also possible that your video driver may need an update.

    Verify that the video driver is problematic is to
    reduce the graphics hardware acceleration:

    Windows 7 - reduce graphics acceleration
    (see following article)
