My Docu?

That doesn't sound like Windows, so is this some other OS? What OS are you using?

How did you tick this 'encrypt'? What is the full error message when you try to untick that option?

Hello,

Now when i try to open any photo i get
error: no preview available
.When opening pics. With picture viewer get: couldnt display as suitable graphic imporer could not be found.
<b>By r/c each photo,going to properties,clicking advance,i notice a Tick next to encrypt contents to
secure data.By removing this tick,and attempting to open any photo, get this
</b>Full error message : Error occured applying attributes to file,Access to C:\docu and settings\admin.home\Acces is denied.with a yellow triangle inside it is a black exclamation mark!.

For videos-WMP gives error might not support codec used to compress file. VLC shows: unrecognised file format.
By removing encrypt tick from any video file,and openinhg it i get same Access Denied error.
.
Same problem on CD_R with samephotos and videos waiting to be written to it.
I have been trying many things for last 7 days to fix this problem.Am very confused and exhausted.

If these are your file, then someone must have encrypted these files so you can't get in.
