Quick "Encryption" from the Windows XP Context Menu !!!

Encryption can be done using different software, but if you have Windows XP Pro and NTFS as your file system, you won’t need any additional software.

-->Right-Click a file or folder
-->Clickproperties and then click "Advanced ..."
-->You’ll see an option that says “Encrypt contents to secure data”.
-->This method works perfectly


If you use encryption very often..Encryption option can be placed in the context menu for better accessibility.
Note: The registry is a crucial part of your system and messing around with it is dangerous.improper use of the registry can severely damage your system.So,follow These Steps carefully.....

>>Open Registry Editor: Click Start --> Run --> Type "regedit" --> Press Enter

>>Navigate to the following key (if it doesn’t exist, create it):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

>>Look for a DWORD value called EncryptionContextMenu (if it doesn’t exist, create it).

>>Change its value data to 1.

>>Click OK and close the Registry Editor.

Now if you right-click a file or folder, you should see “Encrypt” in the list. If, for some reason, you decide to remove “Encrypt” from the context menu, go back to the registry and change the value data of EncryptionContextMenu to 0.
