How to prevent EFS encrypted files getting green color

hi friends
as we know, when we encrypt files via EFS, they get green color so users find out that these are encrypted files. i don't want such thing. 
is there any method to prevent EFS encrypted files getting green color?
thanks in advance

You can set it via Folder Options in Control Panel or in Windows Explorer, and there is a related Group Policy.
This thread has the details - the configuration
options apply both to 'green' and 'blue' (compressed) files.

hi Elke.

  • How to share EFS encrypted files over a network (\\workstation\c$\encrypted-file.txt)

    Hello,
    we decided to theft-protect our workstations by using EFS encryption on some important documents and directories.
    Just to be sure: I hope that data will not be readable in the case that someone physically gains access to the disk or computer with encrypted data and does not know user's name & password to log in or does not have the right encryption certificate with
    private key. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
    All workstations are Windows 7 Professional joined to the domain controlled by Windows 2008R2 DC. We are a bit lazy, so we have generated a local, self-signed EFS certificate on a single workstation and installed this (the same) certificate on all workstations.
    Now, we are able to share EFS encrypted files for example via a NTFS formatted flash drive.
    Later, we have setup a Certificate authority (we can potentially issue new EFS personal, domain-based certificates that are published in AD), and established DRA as well (published DRA via a Group Policy).
    All logged-in users have the same (non-domain) certificate installed in their "My User Account" certificate store, cipher /y command shows the same thumbprint value.
    However, we would like to be able access files remotely, in a "lazy" way using an administrative share like
    \\workstation\c$\users\bob\document.txt. We all are Domain Admins, so NTFS and SMB privileges should be OK, unencrypted files are accessible OK.
    I have tried to issue a new certificates via the Cert Authority, putting them into "Trusted People" container etc., adding them to the "Users who can access this file:" list on the encrypted file and nothing worked.
    So is it possible to share EFS encrypted files over a workstation's share (i.e.
    \\workstation\something)?
    What should I do to get it working? :-)
    Thank you for any ideas.

    OK, I understand that. However, I have read this article
    Using Encryption File System (Technet)
    and there is stated "Remote EFS operations on files stored on network file shares are possible in Windows 2000 or later domain environments only. Domain users can remotely encrypt or decrypt files,
    but this capability is not enabled by default"
    There are notes about computer trust etc., so I am seeking for someone who would help me a little bit with this.
    Just imagine the simplest possible "single-user" case: there are two Win7 computers A, B joined into the domain and just single user BOB. Bob uses those two computers and need to access own documents like
    \\A\DocumentsA or
    \\B\DocumentsB. Standard setup - folder sharing: everything is working fine, share and NTFS permissions are set up, BOB can work with his own "remote" documents from both computers (\\A\DocumentsA from computer B and
    vice versa).
    BOB decides to encrypt his documents. So BOB logs in computer A, starts "Manage file encryption certificates Wizard", gets an EFS Certificate from CA and encrypts his c:\Documents (shared as
    \\A\DocumentsA). I assume the EFS certificate is stored on computer A in BOB's local profile, therefore I ask:
    Now, BOB moves to the computer B and logs on.
    Q1: Will be \\A\DocumentsA accessible for BOB from B?
    Q2: If not, what should do now? Should I do something in AD for computer accounts (A and/or B) ?
    Thank you.

  • EFS Encrypted Files over home workgroup network via WebDAV avoiding Active Directory fixing Access Denied errors

    This is for information to help others
    KEYWORDS:
      - Sharing EFS encrypted files over a personal lan wlan wifi ap network
      - Access denied on create new file / new fold on encrypted EFS network file share remote mapped folder
      - transfer encryption keys / certificates
      - set trusted delegation for user + computer for EFS encrypted files via
    Kerberos
      - Windows Active Directory vs network file share
      - Setting up WinDAV server on Windows 7 Pro / Ultimate
    It has been a long painful road to discover this information.
    I hope sharing it helps you.
    Using EFS on Windows 7 pro / ultimate is easy and works great. See
    here and
    here
    So too is opening + editing encrypted files over a peer-to-peer Windows 7 network.
    HOWEVER, creating a new file / new folder over a peer-to-peer Windows 7 network
    won't work (unless you follow below steps).
    Typically, it is only discovered as an issue when a home user wants to use synchronisation software between their home computers which happens to have a few folders encrypted using windows EFS. I had this issue trying to use GoodSync.
    Typically an "Access Denied" error messages is thrown when a \\clientpc tries to create new folder / new file in an encrypted folder on a remote file share \\fileserver.
    Why such a EFS drama when a network is involved?
    Assume a home peer-to-peer network with 2pc:  \\fileserver  and  \\clientpc
    When a \\clientpc tries to create a new file or new folder on a \\fileserver (remote computer) it fails. In a terribly simplified explanation it is because the process on \\fileserver that is answering the network requests is a process working for a user on
    another machine (\\clientpc) and that \\fileserver process doesn't have access to an encryption certificate (as it isn't a user). Active Directory gets around this by using kerberos so the process can impersonate a \\fileserver user and then use their certificate
    (on behalf of the clienpc's data request).
    This behaviour is confusing, as a \\clientpc can open or edit an existing efs encrypted file or folder, just can't create a new file or folder. The reason editing + opening an encrypted file over a network file share is possible is because the encrypted
    file / folder already has an encryption certificate, so it is clear which certificate is required to open/edit the file. Creating a new file/folder requires a certificate to be assigned and a process doesn't have a profile or certificates assigned.
    Solutions
    There are two main approaches to solve this:
         1) SOLVE by setting up an Active Directory (efs files accessed through file shares)
              EFS operations occur on the computer storing the files.
              EFS files are decrypted then transmitted in plaintext to the client's computer
              This makes use of kerberos to impersonate a local user (and use their certificate for encrypt + decrypt)
         2) SOLVE by setting up WebDAV (efs files accessed through web folders)
               EFS operations occur on the client's local computer
               EFS files remain encrypted during transmission to the client's local computer where it is decrypted
               This avoids active directory domains, roaming or remote user profiles and having to be trusted for delegation.
               BUT it is a pain to set up, and most online WebDAV server setup sources are not for home peer-to-peer networks or contain details on how to setup WebDAV for EFS file provision
             READ BELOW as this does
    Create new encrypted file / folder on a network file share - via Active Directory
    It is easily possible to sort this out on a domain based (corporate) active directory network. It is well documented. See
    here. However, the problem is on a normal Windows 7 install (ie home peer-to-peer) to set up the server as part of an active directory domain is complicated, it is time consuming it is bulky, adds burden to operation of \\fileserver computer
    and adds network complexity, and is generally a pain for a home user. Don't. Use a WebDAV.
    Although this info is NOT for setting up EFS on an active directory domain [server],
    for those interested here is the gist:
    Use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to configure delegation options for both users and computers. To trust a computer for delegation, open the computer’s Properties sheet and select Trusted for delegation. To allow a user
    account to be delegated, open the user’s Properties sheet. On the Account tab, under Account Options, clear the The account is sensitive and cannot be delegated check box. Do not select The account is trusted for delegation. This property is not used with
    EFS.
    NB: decrypted data is transmitted over the network in plaintext so reduce risk by enabling IP Security to use Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)—which will encrypt transmitted data,
    Create new encrypted file / folder on a network file share - via WebDAV
    For home users it is possible to make it all work.
    Even better, the functionality is built into windows (pro + ultimate) so you don't need any external software and it doesn't cost anything. However, there are a few hotfixes you have to apply to make it work (see below).

      4 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "Authentication", then click "Open Feature"
           a) on the "Anonymous Authentication" and click "Disable"
           b) on the "Windows Authentication" and click "Enable"
          NB: Some Win 7 will not connect to a webDAV user using Basic Authentication.
            It can be by changing registry key:
               [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters]
               BasicAuthLevel=2
           c) on the "Windows Authentication" click "Advanced Settings"

           a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Add Allow Rule"
           b) set this to "all users". This will control who can view the "Default Site" through a web browser
           NB: It is possible to specify a group (eg Administrators is popular) or a user account. However, if not set to "all users" this will require the specified group/user account to be used for logged in with on the
    clientpc.
           NB: Any user account specified here has to exist on the server. It has a bug in that it usernames specified here are not validated on input.

           a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Enable"
    HOTFIX - double escaping
      7 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click your computer, then click "Request Filtering", then click "Open Feature"
           a) on the right side, under Actions, click "Edit Feature Settings"
           b) tick the box "Allow double escaping"
         *THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT* if your filenames or foldernames contain characters like "+" or "&"
         These folders will appears blank with no subdirectories, or these files will not be readable unless this is ticked
         This is safe btw. Unchecked (default) it filters out requests that might possibly be misinterpreted by buggy code (eg double decode or build url's via string-concat without proper encoding). But any bug would need to be in IIS basic
    file serving and this has been rigorously tested by microsoft, so very unlikely. Its safe to "Allow double escaping".
      8 in IIS, on the left under "connections" right click "Default Web Site", then click "Add Virtual Directory"
           a) set the Alias to something sensible eg "D_Drive", set the physical path
           b) it is essential you click "connect as" and set
    this to a local user (on fileserver),
           if left as "pass through authentication" a client won't be able to create a new file or folder in an encrypted efs folder (on fileserver)
                 NB: the user account selected here must have the required EFS certificates installed.
                            See
    here and
    here
            NB: Sharing the root of a drive as an active directory (eg D:\ as "D_Drive") often can't be opened on clientpcs.
          This is due to windows setting all drive roots as hidden "administrative shares". Grrr.
           The work around is on the \\fileserver create an NTFS symbollic link
              e.g. to share the entire contents of "D:\",
                    on fileserver browse to site path (iis default this to c:\inetpub\wwwroot)
                    in cmd in this folder create an NTFS symbolic link to "D:\"
                    so in cmd type "cd c:\inetpub\wwwroot"
                    then in cmd type "mklink /D D_Drive D:\"
            NB: WebDAV will open this using a \\fileserver local user account, so double check local NTFS permissions for the local account (clients will login using)
             NB: If clientpc can see files but gets error on opening them, on clientpc click START, type "Manage Network Passwords", delete any "windows credentials" for the fileserver being used, restart
    clientpc
      9 in IIS, on the left under "connections" click on "WebDAV Authoring Rules", then click "Open Feature"
           a) click "Add authoring rules". Control access to this folder by selecting "all users" or "specified groups" or "specified users", then control whether they can read/write/source
           b) if some exist review existing allow or deny.
               Take care to not only review the "allow access to" settings
               but also review "permissions" (read/write/source)
           NB: this can be set here for all added virtual directories, or can be set under each virtual directory
      10 Open your firewall software and/or your router. Make an exception for port 80 and 443
           a) In Windows Firewall with Advanced Security click Inbound Rules, click New Rule
                 choose Port, enter "80, 443" (no speech marks), follow through to completion. Repeat for outbound.
              NB: take care over your choice to untick "Public", this can cause issues if no gateway is specified on the network (ie computer-to-computer with no router). See "Other problems+fixes"
    below, specifically "Cant find server due to network location"
           b) Repeat firewall exceptions on each client computer you expect to access the webDAV web folders on
    HOTFIX - MAJOR ISSUE - fix KB959439
      11 To fully understand this read "WebDAV HOTFIX: RAW DATA TRANSFERS" below
          a) On Windows 7 you need only change one tiny registry value:
               - click START, type "regedit", open link
               -browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MRxDAV\Parameters]
               -on the EDIT menu click NEW, then click DWORD Value
               -Type "DisableEFSOnWebDav" to name it (no speech marks)
               -on the EDIT menu, click MODIFY, type 1, then click OK 
               -You MUST now restart this computer for the registry change to take effect.
          b) On Windows Server 2008 / Vista / XP you'll FIRST need to
    download Windows6.0-KB959439 here. Then do the above step.
             NB microsoft will ask for your email. They don't care about licence key legality, it is more to keep you updated if they modify that hotfix
      12 To test on local machine (eg \\fileserver) and deliberately bypass the firewall.
            a) make sure WebClient Service is running
                (click START, type "services" and open, scroll down to WebClient and check its status)
            b) Open your internet software. Go to address "http://localhost:80" or "http://localhost:80"
                It should show the default "IIS7" image.
                If not, as firewall and port blocking are bypassed (using localhost) it must be a webDAV server setting. Check "Authorization Rules" are set to "Allow All Users"           
            c) for one of the "virtual directories" you added (8), add its "alias" onto "http://localhost/"
                    e.g. http://localhost/D_drive
                If nothing is listed, check "Directory Browsing" is enabled
      13 To test on local machine or a networked client and deliberately try and access through the firewall or port opening of your router.
            a) make sure WebClient Service is running
                (click START, type "services" and open, scroll down to WebClient and check its status)
            b) open your internet software. Go to address "http://<computer>:80" or "http://<computer>:80".
                  eg if your server's computer name is "fileserver" go to "http://fileserver:80"
                  It should show the default "IIS7" image. If not, check firewall and port blocking. 
                  Any issue ie if (12) works but (13) doesn't,  will indicate a possible firewall issue or router port blocking issue.
           c) for one of the "virtual directories" you added (8), add its "alias" onto "http://<computername>:80/"
                   eg if alias is "C_driver" and your server's computer name is "fileserver" go to "http://fileserver:80/C_drive"
                   A directory listing of files should appear.

             a) click on "Security" (top) and then "Custom level" (bottom)
             b) scroll right to the bottom and under "User Authentication" select "Automatic logon with current username and password"
             SUCH an easy fix. SUCH an annoying problem on a clientpc
       NB: this is only an issue if the file is opened through windows explorer. If opened through the "open" dialogue of the software itself, it doesn't happen. This is as a WebDAV mapped drive is consdered a "web folder" by windows
    explorer.
    TEST SETUP
      17 On the client use the normal "map network drive"
                e.g. server= "http://fileserver:80/C_drive", tick reconnect at logon
                e.g. CMD: net use * "http://fileserver:80/C_drive"
             If it doens't work check "WebDAV Authoring Rules" and check NTFS permissions for these folders. Check that on the filserver the elected impersonation user that the client is logging in with (clientpc
    "manage network passwords") has NTFS permissions.
      18 Test that EFS is now working over the network
           a) On a clientpc, map network drive to http://fileserver/
           b) navigate to a folder you know on the \\flieserver is encrypted with EFS
           c) create a new folder, create a new file.
               IF it throws an error, check carefully you mapped to the WebDAV and not file share
                  i.e. mapped to "http://fileserver" not "\\fileserver"
               Check that on clientpc the required efs certificate is installed. Then check carefully on clientpc what user account you specified during the map drive process. Then check on the \\fileserver this
    account exists and has the required EFS certificate installed for use. If necessary, on clientpc click START, type "Manage Network Passwords" and delete the windows credentials currently in the vault.
           d) on clientpc (through a webDAV mapped folder) open an encrypted file, edit it, save it, close it. On the \\fileserver now check that file is readable and not gobble-de-goup
           e) on clientpc copy an encrypted efs file into a folder (a webDAV mapped folder) you know is not encrypted on \\fileserver. Now check on the \\fileserver computer that the file is readable and not gobble-de-goup (ie the
    clientpc decrypted it then copied it).
            If this fails, it is likely one in IIS setting on fileserver one of the shared virtual directories is set to: "pass through authentication" when it should be set to "connect as"
            If this is not readable check step (11) and that you restarted the \\fileserver computer.
      19 Test that clients don't get the VERY annoying prompt when opening an Office or PDF doc
          a) on clientpc in windows explorer browse to a mapped folder you know is encrypted and open an office file and then PDF.
                If a prompt for user+pass then check hotfix (16)
      20 Consider setting up a recycling bin for this mapped drive, so files are sent to recycling bin not permanently deleted
          a) see the last comment at the very bottom of
    this page: 
    Points to consider:
       - NB: WebDAV runs on \\fileserver under a local user account, so double check local NTFS permissions for that local account and adjust file permissions accordingly. If the local account doesn't have permission, the webDAV / web folder share won't
    either.
      - CONSIDER: IP Security (IPSec) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect files during transport.
    MORE INFO: HOTFIX: RAW DATA TRANSFERS
    More info on step (11) above.
    Because files remain encrypted during the file transfer and are decrypted by EFS locally, both uploads to and downloads from Web folders are raw data transfers. This is an advantage as if data is intercepted it is useless. This is a massive disadvantage as
    it can cause unexpected results. IT MUST BE FIXED or you could be in deep deep water!
    Consider using \\clientpc to access a webfolder on \\fileserver and copying an encrypted EFS file (over the network) to a web folder on \\fileserver that is not encrypted.
    Doing this locally would automatically decrypt the file first then copy the decrypted file to the non-encrypted folder.
    Doing this over the network to a web folder will copy the raw data, ie skip the decryption stage and result in the encrypted EFS file being raw copied to the non-encrypted folder. When viewed locally this file will not be recognised as encrypted (no encryption
    file flag, not green in windows explorer) but it will be un-readable as its contents are still encrypted. It is now not possible to locally read this file. It can only be viewed on the \\clientpc
    There is a fix:
          It is implimented above, see (11) above
          Microsoft's support page on this is excellent and short. Read "problem description" of "this microsoft webpage"
    Other problems + fixes
      PROBLEM: Can't find server due to network location.
         This one took me a long time to track down to "network location".
         Win 7 uses network locations "Home" / "Work" / "Public".
         If no gateway is specified in the IP address, the network is set to '"unidentified" and so receives "Public" settings.
         This is a disaster for remote file share access as typically "network discovery" and "file sharing" are disabled under "Public"
         FIX = either set IP address manually and specify a gateway
         FIX = or  force "unidentified" network locations to assume "home" or "work" settings -
    read here or
    here
         FIX = or  change the "Public" "advanced network settings" to turn on "network discovery" and "file sharing" and "Password Protected Sharing". This is safe as it will require a windows
    login to gain file access.
      PROBLEM: Deleting files on network drive permanently deletes them, there is no recycling bin
           By changing the location of "My Contacts" or similar to the root directory of your mapped drive, it will be added to recycling bin locations

    What probably happens is that processes are using those mounts. And that those processes are not killed before the mounts are unmounted. Is there anything that uses those mounts?

  • Windows 7 problem with EFS (Encrypting file system)

    Hello colleagues!
    I think this topic is related more to the security.
    The problem is a bit unusual and google doesn't give me a clear answers, but maybe anyone came across
    with similar problem...
    In general, I suspect that my problem is EFS (Encrypting file system), ie
    service that automatically encrypts files using a digital signature (certificate).
    A little background:
    - On the work PC it was necessary to reinstall
    the system, according to corporate rules all the content we have is encrypted using EFS (Encrypted files are highlighted with green color as you know).
    I have copied all the data on a portable drive and also copied the certificates (certmgr.msc).
    The system was reinstalled. The only change - it was x32 and became x64.
    - It was necessary to free up some space on the hard drive (the file
    system on it is NTFS), so,  I temporary copied all the files on my home PC. My work certificate was installed on it too, because
    I work from home
    sometimes.
    When the  work PC was repaired, I've moved all the files back in
    the same way (ie on the portable HDD, then to the work PC).
    All files were working, but when I needed MS Word documents, it became clear that something was wrong.
    When I've opened the document, it gaveme a window with weird symbols and prompts me to select the encoding ... of course -
    no encoding was fit.
    Started to explore all the documents, it appears that some part of them were working,
    someof them not - all the old documents were working, ie the ones, which
    were created before deploying EFS (newly created or copied files immediately encrypted).
    So, now I am sure that the
    documents were somehow re-encrypted, at least on a portable hard drive, they do not look as encrypted (not highlighted in green), but it's still not open.
    Completely stopped opening all the documents that have
    been encrypted (for all types of files, ie it is not just an MS Word, but also pdf, presentations, charts, and even the pictures).
    Tell me, who faced similar?
    How can it all back? I have no possibility to restore those documents from another sources.

    Try copy those corrupted files and make sure you are using the same certificate and then re-encrypt the copied files and try decrypt them.
    If possible, use the same account as you used for encryption.

  • EFS(Encrypting File System ) Folder can work for cloning Windows 7 PC?

    Dear All,
      I am using EFS  (Encrypting File System) on a Windows 7 notebook to encrypt a folder.
      I would like to clone this notebook to several other notebooks.
      Will the EFS still work on the cloned PC?

    Hi,
    As I know, after cloning the system, the SID may be changed. So, the EFS folder unable to open.
    But if you have the EFS certificate, you can still use the folder with no issue.
    In theory, the EFS can work on the cloned PC, please backup the certificate first.
    Back up Encrypting File System (EFS) certificate:

    Hope it helps.

  • How to prevent an encrypted backup from being restored to a different device?

    If I force an employee to do an encrypted backup (which I can do with a configuration profile), and that employee is fired. We take back the company iphone, but they go and buy a personal one. They connect the new, personal iphone to itunes and do a restore of the encrypted backup (they know the password) and now they have all the work related stuff on their personal phones. Is there a way to prevent an encrypted back from being restored to a different device id.

    We require encryption of our employee backups as well...and the problem you mention is a real one.....
     If you use Exchange, you could disable Exchange Active Sync to prevent them from subsequently connecting to Exchange Server and getting new data with the new personal device....but you would still have the old data as part of the backup...the other issue is that we've found that the profile is part of the backup and if an employee leaves, even on good terms, if he wants to restore say, his music from the backup without the profile, it becomes quite awkward...the profile would have to be removed, ( which removes everything added with the profile, possible email and wi-fi), then the user could backup music etc  with iTunes, then return the corporate phone to be salvaged or re-deployed...and later put his personal data back on another device without the profile...if there is a way around the issue you bring up I'd like to know of it as well. .  Perhaps there is an MDM with functionality that would help here....that is one great strength of the Blackberry platform..all corporate data can be controlled from the BES server. 

  • Satellite P200: How do i calibrate monitor to get same colors using Photoshop CS3

    How do i calibrate monitor to get print that looks like pic on screen?
    I am using Photoshop CS3.
    When I get a pic the way I want it on the screen and try to print it, it prints much darker. I could calibrate my iMac monitor for photoshop but can't find a way of doing it with my Satellite P200.
    My printer is a Canon ip4300 and I'm using Canon ink and paper.

    I think you need additional software and hardware to calibrate yout monitor.

  • How to disable slice tool's translucent green color?

    Hi,
    When using slice tool to slice a page, Fireworks automatically adds a translucent green color over slices. In general this is helpful, but when I need to positioning slice boundaries precisely based on the subtle shades of underlying objects, this becomes cumbersome since the translucent green color lies over the underlying shades, making it difficult for me to spot the shade transitions.
    Does anyone know how can the translucent green color be disabled while still showing the slice boundaries (not by making "web layer" invisible)?
    Bob

    Go to the Web Layer and turn off the visibility of the individual slices (not the Web Layer itself). You can also use View > Slice Guides to toggle the visibility of the slice boundaries.

  • How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

    In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
    How can I do that?
    How can I prevent Firefox for Android from pausing video playback when switching to another tab?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi hamid_ss,
    Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

  • [LV - TS] How to execute a SEQ file, get the result (PASS/FAIL) and the report file ?

    Hello,
    I'm looking for the most obvious and simple way to, from Labview :
    1- Start the Teststand engine : DONE
    2- Get a list of SEQ files to execute : DONE
    3- Loop through the list to execute each SEQ file : <- found some examples but I have some trouble with the UIMessage stuff
    http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052N-01/tsexamples/infotopics/executing_sequences_using_api_labview/
    4- Get the result of the SEQ execution : <- unsure
    5- Get the XML path+name of the report file generated : <- obviously not easy

    However it remains unclear about how to get a simple
    answer from just running a sequence file out of any
    model so far (Simple Pass). Like I told you, all what
    I need, once the TS engine is started, is a VI with the
    following interface :
    INPUT
    1- TS engine reference
    2- SEQ file path (path or string)
    3- Sequence name to execute
    4- UUT string (optional, but yeah)
    5- error in
    OUTPUT
    1- Result boolean (PASS/FAIL)
    2- Path to XML report
    3- error out
    It would be so cool to just have this
    About the surrounding UI, I'm working on it. The LV
    code is not really important at this point, it's running
    a SEQ file that matters to me.

  • How can I open encrypted files from a flash drive?

    I moved transferred files from my work PC to a flash drive and had to encrypt them using Credant.  I know the password but can't find a way to decrypt the files on my mac...

    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

  • How to open password word file - getting error 44820

    Quick look error domain error 44820

    This is not an iPad or iOS problem. Tell the person who sent you the file to remove the password requirement, Then you will need an app that will open Quick Look files. Microsoft has not made offoce type apps for the iPad, so you will need an iPad app that will read these types of files.

  • How to prevent an audio file to play the second time the users enter the screen?

    Hi there
    I have a request from my client. She wants the audio file I have on one slide not to play again when the users return to that screen. Is it possible to do that using conditions? I searched the forums but couldn't find anything like this.
    I am using Captivate 5.5.
    Thank you in advance.

    I explained that both in workshops for advanced actions and in a presentation (Lectora vs Captivate) at DevLearn. In this blog post an example, with short explanation can be found:
    http://lilybiri.posterous.com/playtime-with-audio-and-widgets
    The idea is to link the audio not to the slide but to an 'invisible' object (I even have a Highlight box style for that). When entering the slide the first time you show the object and audio will play, when entering afterwards it will be hidden again. This implies the use of a user variable to track the first visit, and a conditional action. If you need more info, just ask for it.
    In CP6 another approach would be possible, using the new statements Play audio and Stop Triggered Audio.

  • How secure is an encrypted pdf file?

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro => Require a password to open document => use a password that is 'Best' with the 4 gray rectangles on the right lighting up green => Compatibility: Acrobat X and later, Encryption Level: 256-AES
    In other words, the above is the strongest security that Acrobat XI Pro has to offer by way of encryption. But just how secure is this strongest security? Any of the experts here care to give a lay person a feel for the level of security in case the encrypted pdf file gets in the wrong hands?

    It would be very hard (take a very long average amount of time) to crack the security with that password and encryption level, but both the "document open" and "change security" passwords should have the same high level of strength since both can be used to open the document. Be sure to use passwords that aren't susceptible to dictionary attacks.

  • Sequence file Version number. How to prevent the automatic resetting build version number whilst auto-incrementing revision number?

    Hi,
    I've got my environment set this way that each save of the sequence file increase the revision part of version number. However, during that increase the build counter is reset to 0. How to prevent it?
    TS 4.2

    Mimi,
    It is pretty common practice in software revisioning to reset a minor number to 0 when a major moves up 1.  There are many different schemes out there.  If you google or bing software versioning schemes you'll see what I'm talking about.
    So looking at it from left to right:  Major.Minor.Revision.Build = 0.0.0.1 
    if you change the Revision it would be expected that anything to the right (in this case Build) would reset to 0.  0.0.1.0!
    Let's say your version is 8.34.56.23.  It would make sense that if you were to change the Major number (which means a Major release) to 9 then your version would go to: 9.0.0.0. 
    A version number is just a unique way to tell someone which specific software you are using so it really doesn't matter that it resets to 0.  Although it makes sense because if you kept your build number sequential and didn't reset it then it would get outrageously larger which would be more annoying than anything. 
    Again this is common accepted practice in industry.
    Good Luck,
