Hello, Would anybody know how to disable the prompt message to confirm loss of encryption on win 7 ? This is hapennning when copying local encrypted files to a file server where EFS support is disabled. There is no check box to “don’t ask me again”. This gets pretty annoying…

I was wondering if you created a VPN connection and tried to send the data that way, if you may be able to bypass the nag screen. Just a thought. John Wiley

Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums. Generally speaking, Encrypted files might need to be decrypted before the files can be copied or moved to volumes that are not EFS-capable. For any file operation in My Computer, if the destination volume is not capable of re-encrypting the file, you will receive the error message notifying encryption losing. As a work around, you can use copy and xcopy command-line parameters to enable copying of encrypted files to non-EFS capable volumes. Copy encrypted files to non-EFS capable volumes by using the copy command: copy /d Copy encrypted files to non-EFS capable volumes by using the xcopy command: xcopy /g Best Regards Dale Qiao TechNet Subscriber Support in forum.
