SYMPTOMS
After you encrypt a file on a Windows 2000 NTFS partition, the Summary tab is no longer available when you view the properties of the file.

CAUSE
The Summary tab relies on file_type specific property extractors. These extractors do not work when the file is encrypted.

RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, decrypt the file before viewing its properties. This lets the extractor run and reveals the Summary tab. You can then view or modify information on the Summary tab and re-encrypt the file when you are finished.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
The Summary tab lists user-supplied information about the file, including title, subject, category, keywords, comments, source, author, and revision number.

Additional query words: efs encrypt
