I Explorer I got the message box:

The file 'file1' cannot be copied or moved without losing its encryption.

You can choose to ignore this error and continue, or cancel.

Ignore Ignore all Cancel

Explorer allows me copy this file.

XP COPY command /D switch allows decrypt file automatically.

My application must run also in Win 95 and Win 98, where WSH is not avaliable.
Also, I have a lot of COPY FILE commands - major rewrite.

For this reason, I don't like the idea to use the WSH. I'm not even sure does it have option like COPY /D
