How to encrypt a folder in Windows XP

This article describes how to encrypt a folder by using Encrypting File System (EFS).

Encryption is the process of converting data into a format that cannot be read by others. You can use EFS in Windows XP to automatically encrypt your data when it is stored on the hard disk.

The EFS feature is not included in Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. Back to the top How to Encrypt a Folder NOTE: You can encrypt files and folders only on volumes that use the NTFS file system.

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer. Locate and right-click the folder that you want, and then click Properties. On the General tab, click Advanced. Under Compress or Encrypt attributes, select the Encrypt contents to secure data check box, and then click OK. Click OK. In the Confirm Attribute Changes dialog box that appears, use one of the following steps: If you want to encrypt only the folder, click Apply changes to this folder only, and then click OK. If you want to encrypt the existing folder contents along with the folder, click Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files, and then click OK.

The folder becomes an encrypted folder. New files that you create in this folder are automatically encrypted. Note that this does not prevent others from viewing the contents of the folder. This prevents others from opening items in the encrypted folder. For example, if another user attempts to open a Microsoft Word document that has been created in the encrypted folder, the following message appears: Word cannot open the document: Username does not have access privileges (drive:\filename.doc) If another user attempts to copy or move a document from the encrypted folder to another location on the hard disk, the following message appears: Error Copying File or Folder

Cannot copy Filename: Access is denied.

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. Back to the top Troubleshooting

You cannot encrypt files or folders on a volume that uses the FAT file system.

To resolve this issue, store the files or folders that you want to encrypt on NTFS volumes. You cannot store encrypted files or folders on a remote server that is not "trusted for delegation."

To resolve this issue, configure the remote server as being trusted for delegation. To do this, use the following steps. NOTE: You must have administrator privileges to do this. Log on to a domain controller. Start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. In the console tree, expand the domain container. Locate and right-click the server that you want, and then click Properties. On the General tab, select the Trust computer for delegation check box (if it is not already selected). Click OK to respond to the "Active Directory" message that appears. Click OK, and then quit Active Directory Users and Computers. You cannot gain access to encrypted files from Macintosh clients. You cannot open documents that are stored by others in an encrypted folder that you create.

When another user creates a document in an encrypted folder, that document is encrypted, allowing (by default) only that user to gain access. Because of this, a folder that you encrypt may later contain files that you are unable to open. If you require access to these files, request that your user account be added to the list of users with whom the encrypted files are shared.

Assembling and Making Connections with Museum Texts by Dorothy

To prepare for Bedford tours, the museum sent teachers extensive brochures and other resources, most of which were centered on printed text. These resources were often designed much like subject area textbook pages and similar to resources available through the Internet (e.g., the Peace Museum website, www .peacemuseum.org; White Sands Museum and Missile Park webpage, see Figure 1).

These materials were distributed by the Bedford Museum Education Department electronically and on paper to teachers planning visits to the museum with their students. In addition, Meredith Polk, the museum Merrell Shoes executive director, explained during an interview.

When you arrive at the museum you are given these guides [she spreads out several museum guides and picks one up]. And this is one called Big Cats at the Bedford. It uses the approach of taking an image of a jaguar or lion and tracing it through all the collection. So it's a printed piece that kids go through and look for things, kind of like a treasure hunt, and hopefully we get them to look closely at the objects by asking them to find certain things.

There was little evidence, however, that teachers used these museum resources. For instance, on the morning prior to their Bedford Museum field trip, none of the adolescents from MCA, a participating school of the investigation, could identify where they were going or topics that they would possibly encounter. Further, when I asked Madeline, the Mumby Middle School gifted teacher mentioned earlier in this article, about how she followed up on her class's museum excursion, she responded, Um, we, we, I really don't. It's just, this is just sheer enjoyment. And just letting them be able to see the things we talked about and experience the things, like the mummies. They're so mysterious. They get to see several of them and the exhibits are great! We have several things at our school that [are] just strictly for Ancient Egypt and because the librarian knows that we spend a lot of time on Egypt she gets a lot of books that they can do, hands on...I think there's like something like The Case of the Mummy's Curse and several other books like that. And you know, we can't go to Egypt, so this is the next best thing!

There could be a number of reasons for not taking advantage of the printed resources, such as school time restraints, as reported by participants. Like Periwinkle and Chastain, Madeline's response suggests a preference for seeing and taking pleasure in the museum. Nonetheless, it was clear through the study that the Bedford spent much time, energy, and money designing, producing, and Merrell attempting to disseminate these resources. In fact, one approach taken by the Bedford, as museums, was to bring content to schools and other audiences through museums on ?wheels, an important resource for educators to con-rider. In this vein, the Bedford is part of a growing network of museums that have produced virtual spaces where visitors can inscribe meaning from multiple text forms using diverse and new communication technologies. Table 2 provides exemplars of virtual museum learning spaces offering literacy resources for educators and students.
