When you encrypt a file by using Encrypting File System and then decrypt a file, you will see an error message in File History:


"File History has found that files that are encrypted by using the Encrypting File System, are on a network location, or on a drive that doesn't use NTFS. These files won't be backed up."


Cause:


There is a known bug in File History that the error message does not disappear after decrypting certain files by using Encrypting File System.

Steps to Reproduce this Problem:


1. Go to a folder in File Explorer - for example, your Downloads folder.


2. Hold down ALT and double-click a file.


3. Click Advanced, check "Encrypt contents to secure data", click OK, select "Encrypt this file only" and click OK.

cannot access file/or permissions

I have a file i need to run on Windows 7 Home Premium. I get the error message saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

So I right click and choose Properties to access the permissions but I cannot. In the Security tab I get a message saying, " You do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings.".

Next I boot into the Windows 7 Hidden Administrator Mode - and even with this I get all the same error messages.

Please help me as I really need to run This file.
