•Encrypted files are opened just like other files, provided you are using the device that encrypted them. There is no separate step for you to take to read these files.

Important If Encrypt files placed on storage cards is enabled, backup all files from the storage card before using Clear Storage, hard reset, or updating the ROM system software. Otherwise you will no longer be able to access the encrypted files on the storage card. Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer files between your storage card and computer. After the procedure, copy your files back to the storage card.
