All saved file now have padlock icon

I did ... and it works .... but only on folder/file at that time. New folders files still get saved with box ticked. I just went through the tutorial again step by step ....... I can untick the 'Encrypt contents....' I click OK ..... box closes .... but when I then try to do the last step 'Apply changes to this folder, subfolder and files'

That fails with error (see attached)

I have tried 'ignore' then it rattles through applying attributes to a load of files. - - - Updated - - - additional information .... Just download new zipped folder .. you can see it does not have the icon issue when in Download folder. It does though appear as soon as I move to desktop ... and as before has set attribute to 'encrypt'

 

I no longer have a green padlock. it is grey and black outline on bottom and sides

Where exactly in Internet Explorer are you not seeing this green padlock icon?

Is it the security verification when you visit a web page?

 

Nokia N8 - Padlock Icon when placing a call

Does anyone know the meaning of the small padlock icon that sometimes appears when attempting to place a call? This icon (looks like a locked padlock) appears just above the phone receiver icon when I try to make a call (on the upper left hand corner of
the call information rectangle that appears after hitting the call/send button). When it appears, I am unable to make a call despite 100% reception per the indicator.



I searched the user manual and the web for an explanation, to no avail. Any help would be great. I am using an unlocked N8-00 on t-mobile USA.
