File Encryption creates a new file when encrypting a file. The original file remains unencrypted in its original location.
WARNING
WARNING
Depending on how Windows permissions are configured, a user can view encrypted folder contents if switching between users without restarting Windows. While the file names and folder content may be viewed, the file contents are not available. This is due to Windows Operating system caching the file structure for quick search capability.
