encrypting files

[Guest Matthew J]

I was wanting to encrypt directories or files in vista x64. I went into the

advanced options and the option Encrypt contents to secure data box is

grayed out.

 

Any way to fix this would be wonderful, and why is it like this.

[Guest Matthew J]

OK I found out it is vista version option. This is silly by MS to turn this

security feature off in these days of identity theft. I am sure there must

be some key to enable this other than going third party. I have always been

a enterprise customer of MS so I never noticed the version issues, I find

this to be a very silly or negligent item to turn off. MS shame on you all.

I think you'll find that, rather than denying the ability to be secure, it's

more about denying you the ability to wipe out your family photos and videos

by applying encryption without being (or having access to) something more of

a professional user who can set your encryption up without loss.
