Default Copied files are not decrypted

From: "sunorain"

| On my PC's HDD I have some files encrypted. Used "folder encryption" that is
| in one of folder properties selected checkbox "Encrypt data..."

| Folder is shown in green in explorer respectively.

| In the beginning, when I copied any files from this folder to another
| location (e.g. USB HDD) files became automatically decrypted, i.e. I could
| read those files from USB HDD on any other PC.

| But now something changed. Though I did not make any changes to security or
| file system settings, files copied from encrypted folder to USB HDD stay
| encrypted. That is - I can read them only on PC where I copied them to USB
| HDD. On other PCs where I connect USB HDD files are not accessible.

| How can I change it back? I need files copied from encrypted folder to USB
| HDD to decrypt automatically, because it's backup procedure and I need them
| accessible on any other PC. How can I stop encryption attribute to be copied
| together with file?


Make sure the USB mass storage device is formatted in FAT and not NTFS.
