These are just a collection of notes on encryption in NTFS.
|
|
|
|
- System files cannot be encrypted. Check the file attributes and if
|
|
FILE_ATTR_SYSTEM is set refuse to encrypt. This also means can sanity
|
|
check that FILE_ATTR_SYSTEM and FILE_ATTR_ENCRYPTED are never set together.
|
|
|
|
- The desktop.ini file in each directory has a setting which can disallow
|
|
encryption of files in it. The section name is Encrpytion and the key name
|
|
is Disable.
|
|
|
|
- Everything in %windir% except for Profiles directory is not encryptable as
|
|
it is considered a system file.
