  1. Compress and encrypt


    Hi, all of a sudden yesterday some files and images had "two blue arrows" these can easily be removed, however when I download anything to C drive they appear again, After two and a half hours on the phone last night they could not give me a answer/solution how to stop/prevent this happening permanently. Only happens when saving to the C drive in particular the desk top, does not happen if saving to D drive. I have the latest version of windows 10 installed.

    • On the General tab, click Advanced.
    • Under Compress or Encrypt attributes, click Encrypt contents to secure data.
    • Click OK then Apply to save the changes.

    We're just here if you need further help.

    Encrypting a folder

    Thanks Devlin for your prompt reply. However. Under “Compress or Encrypt attributes” there are two choices.


    • “Compress contents to save disk space”. It has a tick mark and is doable.

    • “Encrypt contents to secure data”. This is in grey and not doable.

    How do you change it?
