Add NTFS encryption and decryption to the right-click menu.

I believe everyone knows that if a partition of the hard disk is in NTFS format, we can encrypt some important files under the partition to prevent it. Anyone else can view it. To encrypt a file or folder under the NTFS partition, the general operation is: right-click the file or folder you want to encrypt, and then click "Properties" to open the "General" tab of the "Properties" dialog box. Click the "Advanced" button, select the "Encrypt content to protect data" checkbox, and finally click the "OK" button. Think about it, whether it's encrypting or decrypting files, it's a bit of a hassle to repeat similar operations.

In fact, we can add NTFS encryption and decryption functions to the right-click menu, so that we can perform NTFS encryption or decryption operations, which is much more convenient than the original. Below, the author will tell you how to achieve.

Open Notepad first, then enter the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced]
"EncryptionContextMenu"=dword:00000001

After the above content is entered, save the Notepad file as a REG format registry file (such as “NTFS Encryption and Decryption.reg”), save it to any location on the hard disk and double-click to import the registry.

After importing "NTFS encryption and decryption.reg" into the registry, we right click on a file or folder under the NTFS partition on the hard disk, and it will be found in the pop-up right-click menu. A menu option - "encryption"; of course, if we right-click on a file or folder encrypted with NTFS, the menu option at A in the picture becomes "decrypt". In this way, whether we perform NTFS encryption or decryption operations, it is much more convenient than the original.
