Windows XP Desktop Encryption

[scgamecock]

When I move/copy, or create a new folder on my desktop, the folder and all it's content is being encrypted. Is there a setting within Windows that ecrypts everything on the desktop? How can I get this to stop?

Open Windows Explorer, and go to

C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere

and right-click on that folder and click on the SHARING tab. If the checkbox that says MAKE THIS FOLDER PRIVATE is checked, that is why.

It may not be checked but you can look also at:

C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\Desktop

and do the same test. If the checkbox is checked, you should be able to uncheck it to stop the encryption.

The second option fixed the problem. Thank you very much.

Of course, I have the Accessibility settings set so it reads it to me. Doesn't everyone?
