The files are currently encryption automatically.

A lot of word documents and my son is creating programs c ++ are automatically encrypted.  When the document is opened, it is said user has access privileges.  When I try to uncheck the encryption properties, I get an access denied message.  I'm doing this as an administrator.

Where Devil am I going to stop this?

Where can I fix the access denied message?

How to change permanently the user permissions for all users to have all permissions for the created documents?

These files are under encryption by the Encrypting File System (EFS).  This seems to indicate that you have a XP Pro and not XP Home.  When it comes to the EFS, administrators don't have little or no power to decrypt these files.  Even if you are an administrator, you will not be able to access these files.

With impatience...  You can access the encrypted files is to create a "EFS Recovery Agent.  You can then use the recovery agent to access any encrypted file after the agent has been installed.  You will find that only the encrypted files after the recovery agent is in place can be consulted.  Files created before then will not be available.

... and of course, the reading for all agent the world using EFS:

  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/223316 >

You can also disable EFS.  You can do this with group policy in a domain environment, but at home, a registry value can be changed.  Use with caution.  If you do not understand what follows or how to change the registry, not to do so.

< quote="">
«Note: Group Policy sets a registry key which is verified by the EFS during user operations.» The key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EFS\EfsConfiguration
In the case of local computers that are not members of a domain, local politics is not available for the deactivation of EFS.
However, a different registry key can be set to disable EFS. If the key is set to a DWORD value of 0x01, EFS will be disabled.
Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EFS\EfsConfiguration"
< uote="">

Found in:
"Encryption in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 file system"
  <>http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457065.aspx >

If it's any consolation, EFS is known as the 'Recycle Bin delay' because if a user does not save the certificate (as it is most are not), all crashing Windows requiring a re-installation of Windows will permanently remove access to these files to everyone.

I hope this helps.

  • Files with the help of Transcend F25 external USB Drive: copy, but I don't see that empty folders (disk size indicates that the files are still there, though)

    Hello-

    I use Windows 7 Professional and everything seems to work very well. I joined my new Transcend f25 USB (300g) to use for backups. I copied on about 20 concerts of archives and had run Windows it's first backup.

    Everything seemed fine, and the available space on the disc is now about 230g, that sounds right. The problem is I see only empty folders on disk!

    Now, I know with certainty that the files are there because I tried to plug the drive in an old laptop XP - bingo there was all my files! Can someone advise me? This seems to be a configuration problem, or maybe a drive error. The files were there when I added in the first place, however, is very strange!

    How can I see my files? Help!

    Thanks, Dave

    Check the disk for errors by using this procedure.
    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    2 - Click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.

    To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. click on start.

  • Backup did not run on a laptop before be recreated now the files are corrupted after recovering the data.

    I ran a data recovery software that has found a lot of the loss of the files but the files are now corrupted. It is very important for these files restored to their original condition and work. Have tried many files repair software, coding and a simple fix with the "Open and repair" feature in XP. What would be the last result and hopfully more here on success?

    I'm afraid that you have learned a painful lesson about the importance of backing up your system.  When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is about $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program is the Easeus todo backup free that you can download from
    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.

  • Why can't I export photos in my collections folder PScc even if there is no '?' showing the files are missing?

    I'm new to LR. I fell 165 photos in a collection, developed a bunch of them in LR and now wish to export some PS 2015cc but when I try to do a right click to open in PS it is grayed out in unauthorized function. There is no '?' to indicate that the files are missing. I find the original files on my hard drive and they are still there.  I have no problem to export to browser images or other files in the Collections. I noted that these 165 photos is not found in LR in navigation in their original as the disk file hard (do not know if this is normal once pictures is added to a collection). I tried to synchronize the file on the hard disk in the browser, but it shows no pictures to move. I don't remember how I put the first photos in this collection originally but now wonder if I've set up wrong in the first place, but I can't spend a some of them out of this collection file without this poop place "all selected files are missing. No file cannot be moved. I have watched many videos and read lots and lots of tutorials and nothing has solved this dilemma. I can't solve this problem on mine, any help would be appreciated!

    In the LR library, go to the files Panel and find the right folder with thumbnails. Then right-click (Ctrl-click) on the name of the folder and choose "Update folder location"

    Navigate to the folder on your hard drive or external hard drive, and then choose the folder where the pictures are stored.

    LR should automatically update the links to the catalog.

  • Portege 3440CT freezes after some time while the files are copied

    Hello all :)

    It seems that I have the same problem as missred in this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19232 (bottom). Unfortunately I can't answer it this is why I am writing here. The version of my laptop is 3440CT.

    My test was to make a win98 HD bootable with directory i386 on it, the start of this drive and run the Setup with winnt.exe. OK, it works, but while the files are copied after awhile it just hangs. I tried with a partition and i386 on the active system partition and with two partitions and i386 on another non-system partition. I don't have floppy or CD for the laptop drive.

    Any ideas what's happening? Is it possible to install XP on the same disk, installing XP is started from?

    Can't wait for your answers ;)

    DZI

    PS: My other tests were:
    -complete the installation of XP on another computer, then move the reader
    -Installation of XP on another computer until it resets first (after you complete composing the installation files), then move the reader
    both without success. I also changed the drive to another as I suspected it is physically damaged. Now I'm ideas ;)

    > OK, it works, but while the files are copied after awhile it just hangs. I tried with a partition and i386 on the active system partition and with two partitions and i386 on another partition system
    To me it sounds more like a HARD or RAM disk as an incorrect Setup procedure failure.

  • WHY THE WINDOWS TEMP FOLDER, THE FILES ARE PROTECTED, CAN NOT BE REMOVE?

    CANNOT DELETE THE WINDOWS TEMP FOLDER ALL THE FILES ARE PROTECTED. WHY?

    You can delete all. TMP using Disk Cleanup http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Delete-files-using-Disk-Cleanupfiles.  Of course, it won't delete those in use (not more), so, be sure you have not all open programs using temporary files, if you want to get everything.  The best way to do it is to do the cleanup right after the startup of the system.  The problem with OneCare is that it doesn't give you the option to choose the files you want to delete (as fair. TMP files) - she does everything that it considers unnecessary - and it can take hours to complete because of the antivirus and anti-spyware scans it includes (which can be excluded and drastically reduce the time but it is difficult to resist doing the chore together once you're already there and ready to do maintenance work).

    While you're there, you should consider to optimize your system with http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Optimize-Windows-Vista-for-better-performance.

    What are two tasks that should be part of a good monthly maintenance program to keep your PC/laptop running in peak condition.  There are other steps as well, that I would be happy to break it down if you want to know - but this isn't what you asked, so I'll skip that for now.

  • I did a system restore and the files are still there, but I can't find the location.

    I did a restore on my Windows XP system because I was not able to access my desktop because the password entry bar giving access to the Office not show up no matter how many times I rebooted the computer.

    When I made the recovery of the system, he said that my files were not going to be deleted, all programs were still there, but the photos, videos and music were gone from My Documents.

    So I tried to find on the C drive, I thought that maybe they had just moved somewhere else. I even went in the folder options to show hidden folders, but the files are not in one of these folders.

    However I know that the files are still there, because when I look at the properties of the drive C with the right click of the mouse, it says drive C is always full, as it was before the system recovery. So this means that the files are still there but I don't know where.

    I have lots of family photos and videos that I want back. These are the only things I want to get back and maybe my music files.

    Any ideas how I can find these files or the folder that contains the? Perhaps through MS-DOS or something like that? I have external hard drives to copy if I find them.
