The Passer-by

G'day !

I bet we can have Explorer display the names of encrypted files (EFS) a
different color, like it does compressed files, right ? How do we set
this up ?

Maybe a registry setting? I use http://www.winguides.com for registry
tweaks and crap of that nature - I did not see anything pertaining to this -
but I would also like to know if someone comes up with a solution!

Found none at Winguides. It would appear that under Windows /XP/ the
explorer highlights encrypted files as well as the compressed ones. Can
Win 2000 do that ? Is it a property of the Windows XP version of
Explorer ? I do not have XP to play with so can't test...

Browsing the n.g. I saw that the same question has already been asked,
but apparently not answered :=(

Would an MS/MVP care to grant us a definitive answer : whether it's
feasible or not to have Explorer highlight - in some way - files that
are encrypted ?
