Re: Encrypting a library

[Peter Dow <petercdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob,

When you went into that share with Win FIle Explorer, could you see 
aaa.pgm?  And if you could see it, could you do anything with it? Open 
it? Update it? Delete it?

I have a vague recollection that some object types don't even show up in 
a share, or maybe I just couldn't do anything with them.
