Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders Client Software

Removable media
Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders can enforce encryption on removable media.
However, the removable media affected must follow the following definition:
“Any device that is attached to the computer and is assigned a drive letter, except for
network drives, and that report itself to the operating system as ‘Removable’ . The
media shall also set a flag ‘Removable’ in the operating system and also report to the
operating system whenever a media is inserted. “
For certain devices, where a media is inserted into a reading device attached to the
computer, removable media encryption policies will only be applied when there is a
write operation initiated to the media. Examples of such devices are:
• Floppy Disk drives (FDD), and
• Magneto-Optical (MO) storage drives.
Self-Extractors: Minimizing window issue
When attaching a Self-Extractor to an e-mail (with context menu option Attach as
Self-Extractor to E-mail), the window with the e-mail that opens up cannot be
minimized. This is due to a design issue in MAPI, not an error within Endpoint
Encryption for Files and Folders.
Self-Extractors: Creating e-mail draft
When attaching a Self-Extractor to an e-mail (with context menu option Attach as
Self-Extractor to E-mail), and closing the e-mail without sending it (create Draft)
the draft is not saved to the Drafts, but to the Inbox folder instead (MS Outlook). This
is due to a design issue in MAPI, not an error within Endpoint Encryption for Files and
Folders.
Encryption on Novell file servers
In this version of Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders, due to missing Unicode
support in the NWFS file system, files cannot be encrypted on Novell file servers
(NWFS files shares).
