Encrypt method

[Guest]

How exactly works the Encrypt method of FileInfo class? i only see the
filename marked in green, but i can see the contents like always and modify
it.

It just means it's encrypted on disk so only the encrypting account can
see the contents (in a useful manner).

Try changing to a different account and opening the file...

You can, but other users can't.

Seaerch for "Encrypting File System" for more information.
