In
Control Panel, open Folder Options, choose View tab, and turn on the
Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color option to use this feature,
or turn it off if you want all your filenames to be printed in black text.
Click OK when you??™re done.
By default, the names of encrypted files appear in green, while those of compressed
files appear in blue (except for icons on the desktop). Note that files
can??™t be simultaneously compressed and encrypted (as mentioned in the previous
section), so you??™ll never see any turquoise, teal, or aquamarine filenames.
Actually, that??™s not entirely true. You can customize the color Windows uses
to highlight encrypted filenames by editing the Registry:
1. Open the Registry Editor (see Chapter 3).
2. Expand the branches to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer.
3. Create a new binary value by going to Edit ??? New ??? Binary Value, and
type AltEncryptionColor for the name of the new value.
4. Double-click the new AltEncryptionColor value, and then type a code
to indicate the color you??™d like to use, following this pattern:
RR GG BB 00
The RGB hex code used here follows the same scheme as RGB codes in
HTML web pages (except for the two trailing zeros), which means you
can use any common color mixer to generate the hex codes for you. For
an excellent, free web-based color mixer, go to http://colormixers.com/
mixers/cmr. Or, if you have Adobe Photoshop, you can match an existing
color with the eyedropper tool and grab the code from the # field in
the color mixer window.
