Re: Enable "Encrypt contents to secure data" option in Windows Explore

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Sorry I missed the XP "Home" part......

Windows XP home users:
1.. Select the folder you wish to encrypt.
2.. Right-click the folder and click Properties.
3.. Click the Sharing tab.
4.. Check the box Make this folder private
5.. Click Apply and then Ok.

Make this folder private is grayed out?

In order for this option to work in Microsoft Windows XP home you must meet
the below requirements.

1) The hard disk drive must be formatted in NTFS and not FAT32.

2) The folder you're attempting to encrypt must be in your own personal
folder. For example, if your name is bob, you must be encrypting a folder
that is or that is contained within the below folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\Bob\
