Clicked on "Encrypt options to secure data" now.....

[Guest kim]

Hi, I`m trying to help a friend who can`t open pics or docs, this it the

email he sent me.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks

Kim

 

I had a folder on my hard drive

in which I save my pictures & some important MS Word files. once I am

checking the properties of the folder I press right click on the folder

then taking properties there is an option "Advanced" I click on it to check

what is inside a new tab oppened here on the top "Advanced Attribute" is

written at the bottom there is a check box "Encrypt options to secure

data".I click on this check box to see what happens & click on apply button

but very unluckily from now I am unable to open any picture or my MS word

files in this folder and when I open any image file it gives an error

message "No preview available" and on MS Word files "access is denied". Even

though I again taking the properties & uncheck the option of "Encrypt

options to secure data" but when I press apply button it gives me an error

message "acces is denied". I am unable to acces any fil in this folder.
