I have relocated and encrypted the location of “My Documents” folder to D:\MyDocs for security purposes. (Drive D: is my second logical disk partition.)
When I copy (or move) a file to another drive, WinXP (as expected) copies it in its encrypted state. However, when I go to the file’s new location, and try to remove its encryption by doing: “Properties|Advanced…” and un-checking the “Encrypt contents to secure data” button, press OK, and Apply, I get the following error message:
——————————————
Error Applying Attributes
T:\filename.ext
The system cannot find the path specified
——————————————
Please note that the drive T: in the above message is an (encrypted) logical disk created by Jetico’s BestCrypt software. I have used this procedure in the past and it has always worked. But it has stopped working since my latest reformat/re-install of WinXP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
