Unless you use a command-line utility like Cipher.exe, it’s difficult to see at a glance which files are encrypted and which are not. Right-clicking each file and then choosing Properties, General, Advanced (followed by Cancel, Cancel) is tedious.
Solution 1
In Windows Explorer, use Details view.
- Open a folder containing the encrypted files.
- On the View menu, choose Details, and then select Attributes.

Solution 2
- On the Tools menu, choose Folder Options, click the View tab, and select Show Encrypted Or Compressed NTFS Files In Color.
