1275250 2012-05-14 07:13:00 For some reason I have never been able to encrypt any folders on my XP machine, It's just blanked out.
here's where to find that: "folder">Properties>General>Advanced>
Do you people know how to fix that problem???

1275251 2012-05-14 07:21:00 Is it Pro?? Home doesnt support it. And the hdd needs to be formatted in NTFS, not FAT32. Altho its ghosted here too (in XP mode). Just use something like Truecrypt. Its ghosted in Win 7 Pro as well. So, whats the point in having the option Speedy Gonzales (78)
1275252 2012-05-14 07:56:00 Download "Blow fish". It works very well and is free. mzee (3324)
1275253 2012-05-14 09:15:00 Ah I see, yeah I got Home edition.... ChazTheGeek (16619)
1275254 2012-05-14 09:17:00 Youre not missing anything, the stupid thing doesnt work in Pro either lol Speedy Gonzales (78)
1275255 2012-05-14 20:36:00 What?? That's weird is there some sort of setting I have to check somewhere? ChazTheGeek (16619)

It should work in Windows XP Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate...

1275257 2012-05-14 21:05:00 Should, but doesnt. If its meant to, its not enabled by default. It should work in Win7 Pro too, according to some sites. But its ghosted out as well. I did tick it but the details tab was still ghosted. But the flies in the folder I tried were coloured. Which I take it, means theyre encrypted. How, I dont know, because youre meant to password protect them or something arent you?? Theyre not

Only version it doesnt work in is Win7 Home premium. And probably the versions under it

If you've got XP Home its not there / its not supported. You need Pro

1275258 2012-05-14 21:23:00 yep, it works fine in Win7 Pro on mine. Folder name text goes green when encrypted instead of black. Iantech (16386)
1275259 2012-05-14 21:28:00 Yup it does that. But whats encrypted then? What exactly do they mean by encrypt? I thought it meant with a password or something Speedy Gonzales (78)
