an encrypted file or folder is decrypted if you move it to a volume that is not an ntfs file system volume. any chance of that in your situation?

 

Yeah the target folder is on a fat32 partition,is that why??

 

Sounds like you need to study up on Window's file systems, i.e. Fat32, Fat16, NTFS, etc... so you will understand the differences. Then study up on the encryption that Windows 2000, XP, and 2003 use to encrypt files and folders.

This site will help you with file systems.

Here is a page full of links to info on how the encryption works in 2000, 2003 and XP. This is actually one of the best single links I've ever found on encryption in Windows.
