I have seen another post on this issue but was not sure if there was a definitive answer. In Windows XP the following registry key allows for the silent decryption of files in Windows XP when copying: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\ DWORD Name: CopyFileAllowDecryptedRemoteDestination Value: 1 Is there a similar value that can be applied to Windows 7 devices? Users will be copying files from an encrypted location (laptops) to our network shares and I don't want them to have to manually say "yes" to each file when prompted to decrypt, they also will not have the skills to go "command line". Thanks Mike

This key does not work from the Shell (meaning from windows explorer). You will need to use a command line tool to copy the files like xcopy or robocopy command to copy the files. The <tt>xcopy</tt> and <tt>copy</tt> commands can be used to copy encrypted files. When the <tt>/D</tt> switch is used, the file may be decrypted if required and stored in plain text. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457065.aspx I hope this helps. Manoj Sehgal
