winXP Professional-Encrypting and decrypting files easily through the context menu

The NTFS file system allows users to encrypt files. However, to enable that, you need to first open the file properties, click on 'Advanced' and then activate the corresponding option. This process can be complicated and time-consuming. Is there any way to easily encrypt and decrypt files?

Create a context menu command for this function. This is how it works: Open the Registry editor by clicking 'Start | Run...' and navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced' in the tree structure on the left. Then right-click the empty background on the right side of the window, create an entry named 'EncryptionContextMenu', click on the command 'New | DWORD value', and then open it with a double-click. You have to set the 'Value' to '1'.
After you have closed the editor, the context menu for files and folders contains the new command 'Encrypt' or 'Decrypt'. If you click on an already encrypted object, as soon as you call 'Encrypt', the 'Confirm changed attributes' dialog opens. With this, you can confirm whether Windows should encrypt only the current folder or even the subfolders and the files in them. If you have selected the command in a file's context menu, an 'Encryption warning' dialog will appear. You can now decide whether the operating system should encrypt only the file concerned or the entire folder. While calling the 'Encrypt' command from a folder's context menu, the 'Confirm changed attributes' dialog appears. However, if you open 'Decrypt' from the context menu of a file, Windows spares you the trouble of dealing with this dialog box. Encrypted data is no longer accessible from other accounts. If you ever need to remove the 'Encrypt' or 'Decrypt' commands from the context menu, set the Registry value 'EncryptionContextMenu' to '0' or simply delete it.
